NAME
libc - C library DESCRIPTION
Functions in this library provide various facilities defined by System V, ANSI C, POSIX, and so on. See standards(5). In addition, those facilities previously defined in the internationalization and the wide-character libraries are now defined in this library, as are the facilities previously defined in the multithreading libraries, libthread and libpthread. INTERFACES
The shared object libc.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. See intro(3) for additional information on shared object inter- faces. ____loc1 ___errno __assert __builtin_alloca __ctype __fbufsize __filbuf __flbf __flsbuf __flt_rounds __fpending __fpurge
