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