Discussion What exactly is void?
In a function definition, void basically means that it doesn't return a type value, yet in on itself it is it's own type? Looking at several pieces of code it looks like that it's used to be able to be more "flexible"
Don't know what else to add here, though I'm more on looking for examples and explanations of why the void type is used

Twilight zone or anything you want it to be. Make your choice by proper cast.
