Vim syntax highlighting


When i start Vim i can issue ESC :syntax=C and i get what is supposed to be C syntax highlighting. However i find that with syntax highlighing function names such as printf() scanf(), etc... remain white (normal text color) and i would also like to change some other colors. Is this possible?
Thanks

dude you can do a lot of things with vim.

All u want is to have the C functions to show up colored !!!

In that case I suggest that you see the file .../syntax/c.vim ( In my case this is located in /usr/share/vim/current/syntax/c.vim ). This is the file where all the syntax coloring , hilighting etc is defined for C. You will need to add your function names as keywords here.
