Something Hard to Google for

I'm working on some code and I noticed that there are functions that
contain a $ in them. Does anyone know what they mean? I suspect that
they are macro definitions, but I'm not sure if the $ is legal in a
macro def.

Or does a $ have an actual meaning in C/C++?

hmmmm... looks like OpenVMS code, isn't it? Folks at digital used it as
others do with underscore to separate parts of identifiers: SYS$QIO()
would mean something like QIO function of the SYS library.

Yet this is not valid in C++ identifiers, gcc does not complain about it
unless -ansi is passed,
