Ack with the following comments: 1) we could name this file as saAisExt.h. Please note, there is no significance for the suffix "B_5***" nor is it a standard SAF convention.
2) The description for this file >+ * This file provides the suggested additions to the C language binding for >+ * the Service Availability(TM) Forum. It contains only the prototypes and >+ * type definitions that are part of this proposed addition. These >additions >+ * are currently NON STANDARD. But the intention is to get these additions >+ * approved formally by SAF in the future. Could be changed to something like: "This file defines extensions to the C header files provided by the Service Availability(TM) Forum AIS specifications. It contains extended prototypes and type definitions. The intention is to get these additions Included as a part of SAF standard specifications."
