Most people do not put functions on a .h file. That is where headers go
(function and global declerations).

If you want to do this right, put those functions either in the main.c, or
even better:

move them all to it's own .c file, and make the .h only contain function
declerations of those functions, then compile like so:

gcc -g -c main.c -o main.o
gcc -g -c util.c -o util.o
gcc main.o util.o -o myprogram

Then you can debug the program (-g ensures debugging code is included as
you probably already know). You can set the break point by line number in
util.c.
