It's actually only used in one place in libsystemd and moving it even makes libsystemd smaller (in a non-optimized build): $ ls -l build/libsystemd.so.0.43.0* -rwxr-xr-x 1 zbyszek zbyszek 5763336 Mar 3 09:54 build/libsystemd.so.0.43.0-old -rwxr-xr-x 1 zbyszek zbyszek 5763216 Mar 3 09:54 build/libsystemd.so.0.43.0 Also, move the definitions in the .h file so that similar functions are grouped together and then move the definitions around in the .c file so that they are in the same order as in the header.
