FYI, the keyword, near, is an example of a storage class specifier. It tells the compiler something about how or where the storage for the variable should be allocated. (See filo's answer, below, for more about near).

| Apr 16, 2018 at 11:58 | comment | added | frr | Based on part experience with x86 in DOS, I would expect this with some pointer type and in a 16bit environment. Yet what the OP quoted does not look like a pointer and the datasheet link would imply some MCU. Search for the keyword "near" in the following two links: microchip.com/forums/m549709.aspx barrgroup.com/Embedded-Systems/How-To/Efficient-C-Code | |
