3.SH NAME
4intro \- introduction to compatibility library functions
5.SH DESCRIPTION
6These functions constitute the compatibility library portion
7of
8.IR libc .
9They are automatically loaded as needed by the C compiler
10.IR cc (1).
11The link editor searches this library under the \*(lq\-lc\*(rq option.
12Use of these routines should, for the most part, be avoided.
13Manual entries for the functions in this library describe
14the proper routine to use.
