You write them and then you save them as .h extension files. then you include them this way

#include "my_header.h"

Any good IDE (I use Dev-C++) will allow you to create and save header files. They are like .cpp files except that they don't contain a main function. They are used to store variables, functions, and structures.

[Prelude]

This works:

/* header.h */
#include <stdio.h>

int main ( void )
{
  printf ( "Hello, world!\n" );

  return 0;
}

/* main.c */
#include "header.h"

It's important to realize that headers are nothing more than a convenient way to organize text that's to be pasted into your code.

Prelude: I did know that, however a)I didn't want to confuse him (you won't usually see a header file with main) and b)I didn't really have another way to say it.
