void (*vector[])( )

can be simplied (in terms of readability) as

typedef void (*PF) ();
PF vector[];

array of pointer to function returning void

If you also mention cdecl(1), the OP might answer the next question
himself.

From the manpage:

Cdecl (and c++decl) is a program for encoding and decoding C (or
C++) type declarations.

Don't forget to put important parts of your message in the message. It
is not sufficient to hide that information in a header.
"void (*vector[])( )" declares vector as an array of pointers to
functions with an unspecified argument list and returning nothing.

This is an array of functions each with no (undefined) argument list
that return void. It can be made easier to understand ysing a typdef
for the function

That should be "array of pointers to functions", you cannot have an "array
of functions" in C.

Almost. It is an array of *pointer to* function. The parameter list
of the function is *unspecified*, which does not necessarily mean the
function takes no arguments.
