It's the very first line of the function. Some also consider the non-required pre:/post: statements to be part of it as well.

i.e.:

 c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
int myFunction (double arg1, bool arg2 [, more args])    //<-- the function header
{
   //pre:  precondition1
   //      precondition2
 
   //post: result1
   //      result2
 
 
   //...action statements...
}
int myFunction (double arg1, bool arg2 [, more args])    //<-- the function header
{
   //pre:  precondition1
   //      precondition2

   //post: result1
   //      result2


   //...action statements...
}
