INTRO(3C)

NAME
intro - introduction to compatibility library functions

DESCRIPTION
These functions constitute the compatibility library portion of libc. They are automatically loaded as needed by the C compiler cc(1). The link editor searches this library under the “-lc” option. Use of these routines should, for the most part, be avoided. Manual entries for the functions in this library describe the proper routine to use.
