Utility library
From cppreference.com
< c
C includes a variety of utility libraries. These libraries can be broadly divided into two groups:
- language support libraries, and
- general-purpose libraries.
Language support
Language support libraries provide functions that interact closely with language features and support common language idioms.
Type support
Basic types (e.g. size_t, NULL)
Dynamic memory management
(e.g. malloc)
Error handling
Assertions (e.g. assert)
Variadic functions
Support for functions that take an arbitrary number of parameters (via e.g. va_start, va_arg, va_end)
General-purpose utilities
Program utilities
Termination (e.g. abort, atexit), environment (e.g. system), signals (e.g. raise)
Date and time
Time tracking (e.g. time, clock)
