Utilitities library
C includes a variety of utility libraries. These libraries can be broadly divided into two groups:
- language support libraries, and
- general-purpose libraries.
Contents

Language support libraries provide functions that interact closely with language features and support common language idioms.
[edit] Type support
Basic types (e.g. size_t , NULL )
[edit] Dynamic memory management
(e.g. malloc )
[edit] Error handling
Assertions (e.g. assert )
[edit] Variadic functions
Support for functions that take an arbitrary number of parameters (via e.g. va_start, va_arg, va_end)
[edit] General-purpose utilities
[edit] Program utilities
Termination (e.g. abort , atexit ), environment (e.g. system ), signals (e.g. raise )
