C 4 intro - introduction to library functions #include <stdio.h>

#include <math.h>

This section describes functions that may be found in various libraries, other than those functions that directly invoke UNIX system primitives, which are described in section 2. Functions are divided into various libraries distinguished by the section number at the top of the page:

6n (3) These functions, together with those of section 2 and those marked (3S), constitute library libc, which is automatically loaded by the C compiler cc (1) and the Fortran compiler f77 (1). The link editor ld (1) searches this library under the `-lc' option. Declarations for some of these functions may be obtained from include files indicated on the appropriate pages.

(3J) These functions are part of the job control facilities, contained in the library \*(lq -ljobs .\*(rq The job control facilities are outlined in jobs (3).

(3M) These functions constitute the math library, libm. They are automatically loaded as needed by the Fortran compiler f77 (1). The link editor searches this library under the `-lm' option. Declarations for these functions may be obtained from the include file <math.h>.

(3S) These functions constitute the `standard I/O package', see stdio (3). These functions are in the library libc already mentioned. Declarations for these functions may be obtained from the include file <stdio.h>.

(3X) Various specialized libraries have not been given distinctive captions. Files in which such libraries are found are named on appropriate pages.

/lib/libc.a
/lib/libm.a, /usr/lib/libm.a (one or the other)
/usr/lib/libjobs.a

stdio(3), nm(1), ld(1), cc(1), f77(1), intro(2) Functions in the math library (3M) may return conventional values when the function is undefined for the given arguments or when the value is not representable. In these cases the external variable errno (see intro (2)) is set to the value EDOM or ERANGE. The values of EDOM and ERANGE are defined in the include file <math.h>. In assembly language these functions may be accessed by simulating the C calling sequence. For example, ecvt (3) might be called this way: .globl _ecvt

setd
mov $sign,-(sp)
mov $decpt,-(sp)
mov ndigit,-(sp)
movf value,-(sp)
jsr pc,_ecvt
add $14.,sp
