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 \*(lq-lc\*(rq. All other functions are located in separate libraries indicated in each manual entry.
