NAME

intro − introduction to compatibility library functions

DESCRIPTION

The (3C) 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.
