How to use the CAN_LPC18xx.c Functions

I am currently tinkering away with setting up my own CAN implementation, but I had found that the CAN_LPC18xx source has all the functionality that I would need.  I would love to use the functions within that source, as - from what I gather - they perform the operations that I need and I assume the standard de-facto API.  While this question may seem rather odd - as I instantly think that I should just include the header file "CAN_LPC18xx.h" and I have access to those functions, but the problem is - all of the functions that are declared in the source are all static.  As such, I cannot access those functions OUTSIDE from the CAN_LPC18xx.c transportation unit.  Is there any way I can access and use the functions within that API\Driver?

I was able to find the source online via GitHub to demonstrate that the functions are not accessible from the outside of the source.

To provide further, I would like to access these functions in the CAN_LPC18xx.c:

static int32_t CAN0_Uninitialize (...) {...}
static int32_t CAN1_Uninitialize (...) {...}
static int32_t CAN0_PowerControl (...) {...}
static int32_t CAN1_PowerControl (...) {...}
static int32_t CAN0_SetBitrate (...) {...}
static int32_t CAN1_SetBitrate (...) {...}
static int32_t CAN0_SetMode (...) {...}
static int32_t CAN1_SetMode (...) {...}
...
etc

How can I access these functions properly and utilize them in my project?

Thanks
