Printing the name of the C function that contains a pattern

Hi,

I am writing a shell script that will print the name of the C function
that contains a specified pattern. I found that grep prints the
"context" of a pattern, but could not find any method to exactly print
the name of the C function which contains the specified pattern.

For example:
#include <stdio.h>

int fun1()
{
// Some lines here
printf("Hello World")
// Some lines here
}

How do I print "fun1" using awk/sed/bash/perl?

Please help me.

Thanks and regards,
Karthick S.
