C Programming Language

The interface of C standard library is defined by the following collection of headers.

<complex.h> (C99)	Complex number arithmetic
<ctype.h>	Functions to determine the type contained in character data
<errno.h>	Macros reporting error conditions
<fenv.h> (C99)	Floating-point environment
<float.h>	Limits of floating-point types
<inttypes.h> (C99)	Format conversion of integer types
<iso646.h> (C95)	Alternative operator spellings
<limits.h>	Ranges of integer types
<locale.h>	Localization utilities
<math.h>	Common mathematics functions
<setjmp.h>	Nonlocal jumps
<signal.h>	Signal handling
<stdalign.h> (C11)	alignas and alignof convenience macros
<stdarg.h>	Variable arguments
<stdatomic.h> (C11)	Atomic operations

<stddef.h>	Common macro definitions
<stdint.h> (C99)	Fixed-width integer types
<stdio.h>	Input/output
<stdlib.h>	General utilities: memory management, program utilities, string conversions, random numbers, algorithms
<stdnoreturn.h> (C11)	noreturn convenience macro
<string.h>	String handling
<tgmath.h> (C99)	Type-generic math (macros wrapping math.h and complex.h)
<threads.h> (C11)	Thread library
<time.h>	Time/date utilities
<uchar.h> (C11)	UTF-16 and UTF-32 character utilities
<wchar.h> (C95)	Extended multibyte and wide character utilities
