NAME

intro − introduction to miscellaneous library functions

DESCRIPTION

These functions constitute minor libraries and other miscellaneous run-time facilities.  Most are available only when programming in C.  The list below includes libraries which provide device independent plotting functions, terminal independent screen management routines for two dimensional non-bitmap display terminals, functions for managing data bases with inverted indexes, and sundry routines used in executing commands on remote machines.  The routines getdiskbyname, rcmd, rresvport, ruserok, and rexec reside in the standard C run-time library “−lc”.  All other functions are located in separate libraries indicated in each manual entry.
