The <string.h> header shall define the following: NULL Null pointer constant. size_t As described in <stddef.h> . The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided. void *memccpy(void *restrict, const void *restrict, int, size_t); void *memchr(const void *, int, size_t); int memcmp(const void *, const void *, size_t); void *memcpy(void *restrict, const void *restrict, size_t); void *memmove(void *, const void *, size_t); void *memset(void *, int, size_t); char *strcat(char *restrict, const char *restrict); char *strchr(const char *, int); int strcmp(const char *, const char *); int strcoll(const char *, const char *); char *strcpy(char *restrict, const char *restrict); size_t strcspn(const char *, const char *); char *strdup(const char *); char *strerror(int); int *strerror_r(int, char *, size_t); size_t strlen(const char *); char *strncat(char *restrict, const char *restrict, size_t); int strncmp(const char *, const char *, size_t); char *strncpy(char *restrict, const char *restrict, size_t); char *strpbrk(const char *, const char *); char *strrchr(const char *, int); size_t strspn(const char *, const char *); char *strstr(const char *, const char *); char *strtok(char *restrict, const char *restrict); char *strtok_r(char *, const char *, char **); size_t strxfrm(char *restrict, const char *restrict, size_t); Inclusion of the <string.h> header may also make visible all symbols from <stddef.h>.
