In C Programming, header files typically contain declarations. Headers are intended to allow several translation units to make use of those declarations (interfaces) and thus ensure those declarations are consistent across all translation units that require them. Headers may also contain inline definitions (implementations), however implementations are usually best kept separate from interfaces. The C compiler is perfectly capable of inline expanding functions regardless of where they are defined.

Where headers files are generally stored?

It depends on the header file and on the general organization of the project. System header files, such as stdio.h or windows.h, are stored in a directory that the compiler knows about, but that you don't need to even think about. Library header files are either stored in the same place that system header files are stored, or they are stored in a place reserved for the particular library. In the latter case, there will usually be build parameters that identify the header files and their associated library files. User header files are either stored in the same directory as the source files, or they can be stored in a related directory, somewhere in the project directory tree. well in most of the DOS/Windows C/C++ compilers predefined header files are stored in INCLUDE directory of the folder containing the compiler


Why are header files not required when using far and near pointers?

In C programming, header files are required. It doesn't matter if you are using near pointers, far pointers, both, or neither -- you still need header files. There is no connection between the necessity of header files and the pointers' size.
