Old (I mean REALLY old) style:

zone_t zinit(size, max, alloc, memtype, name)
        vm_size_t       size;           /* the size of an element */
        vm_size_t       max;            /* maximum memory to use */
        vm_size_t       alloc;          /* allocation size */
        unsigned int    memtype;        /* flags specifying type of memory */
        char            *name;          /* a name for the zone */
{
}

New (well not really new):

/* Parameters types are includeded in the parameter list rather than
 * being outside them like the old style. */
void zcram(zone_t zone, vm_offset_t newmem, vm_size_t size)
{
}

Hope this helps,
