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.
