NAME

       stddef.h, stddef - standard type definitions

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stddef.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The <stddef.h> header defines the following macros:

       NULL

	   Null pointer constant.

       offsetof(type, member-designator)

	   Integer constant expression of type size_t, the value of which is the offset in bytes to the structure member (member-designator), from
	   the beginning of its structure (type).

       The <stddef.h> header defines the following types:

       ptrdiff_t    Signed integer type of the result of subtracting two pointers.

       wchar_t	    Integer type whose range of values can represent distinct wide-character codes for all members of the  largest  character  set
		    specified  among the locales supported by the compilation environment: the null character has the code value 0 and each member
		    of the portable character set has a code value equal to its value when used as the lone character in an integer character con-
		    stant.

       size_t	    Unsigned integer type of the result of the sizeof operator.

       The  implementation supports one or more programming environments in which the widths of ptrdiff_t, size_t, and wchar_t are no greater than
       the width of type long. The names of these programming environments can be obtained using the confstr(3C) function or the getconf(1)  util-
       ity.

NAME

       wchar.h, wchar - wide-character handling

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The <wchar.h> header defines the following types:

       wchar_t	       As described in <stddef.h>.

       wint_t	       An integer type capable of storing any valid value of wchar_t or WEOF.

       wctype_t        A scalar type of a data object that can hold values which represent locale-specific character classification.

       mbstate_t       An  object  type  other	than  an  array  type  that can hold the conversion state information necessary to convert between
		       sequences of (possibly multi-byte) characters and wide characters.  If a codeset is being  used	such  that   an  mbstate_t
		       needs to preserve more than two levels of reserved state, the results are unspecified.

       FILE	       As described in <stdio.h>.

       size_t	       As described in <stddef.h>.

       va_list	       As described in <stdarg.h>.

       The  implementation  supports  one or more programming environments in which the width of wint_t is no greater than the width of type long.
       The names of these programming environments can be obtained using the confstr(3C) function or the getconf(1) utility.

       The <wchar.h> header defines the following macros:

       WCHAR_MAX       The maximum value representable by an object of type wchar_t.

       WCHAR_MIN       The minimum value representable by an object of type wchar_t.

       WEOF	       Constant expression of type wint_t that is returned by several WP functions to indicate end-of-file.

       NULL	       As described in <stddef.h>.

       The tag tm is declared as naming an incomplete structure type, the contents of which are described in the header <time.h>.

       Inclusion of the <wchar.h> header can make visible all symbols from the headers <ctype.h>,  <string.h>, <stdarg.h>, <stddef.h>,	<stdio.h>,
       <stdlib.h>, and <time.h>.
