NAME
       intro - introduction to subroutines and libraries

DESCRIPTION
       This section describes functions found in various libraries, other than
       those functions that directly invoke HP-UX system primitives, which are
       described in Section (2) of this volume.	 Certain major collections are
       identified by a letter after the section identifier (3):

	      (3C)	These functions, together with	the  Operating	System
			Calls and those marked (3S), constitute the Standard C
			Library, which is automatically loaded by the  C  com‐
			piler,	cc(1).	 Declarations  for some of these func‐
			tions can be obtained  from  files  indicated  in  the
			appropriate entries.

	      (3E)	These  functions  constitute  the  ELF	access library
			which lets a program manipulate	 ELF  (Executable  and
			Linking	 Format)  object files, archive files, and ar‐
			chive members.	The link editor searches this  library
			if  the option is specified.  The header file provides
			type and function declarations for  all	 library  ser‐
			vices (described in elf(3E).

	      (3G)	These  functions  constitute  the graphics library and
			are documented in separate manuals.

	      (3I)	These  functions  constitute  the  instrument  support
			(Device I/O) library.

	      (3M)	These  functions constitute the Math Library, The link
			editor searches this library if the option  is	speci‐
			fied.	Declarations for these functions are available
			in the header files and Several generally useful math‐
			ematical constants are also defined in (see math(5)).

	      (3N)	These functions are applicable to the Internet network
			and are part of the standard C library,

	      (3S)	These functions constitute the	``standard  I/O	 pack‐
			age''  (see  stdio(3S)).   These  functions are in the
			library already	 mentioned.   Declarations  for	 these
			functions can be obtained from the file

	      (3T)	These  functions constitute the Pthreads Library.  The
			link editor (see ld(1)) searches this library  if  the
			option	 is   specified.   See	pthread(3T)  for  more
			detailed information on threads.

	      (3X)	Various specialized libraries.	 The  files  in	 which
			these  libraries are found are specified in the appro‐
			priate entries.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Functions in the C and Math Libraries, (3C) and (3M),  may  return  the
       conventional  values  or	 when  the function is undefined for the given
       arguments or when the value is not representable.  is defined as in the
       header  file.   Functions  in  the Math Library may also return or a In
       these cases, the external variable (see errno(2)) may also  be  set  to
       the value [EDOM] or [ERANGE].

FILES
       (For PA-RISC systems.)		  Standard   I/O,   operating	system
					  calls, and general purpose  routines
					  archive library.

       (For PA-RISC systems.)		  Standard   I/O,   operating	system
					  calls, and general purpose  routines
					  shared library.

       (For Itanium(R)-based systems.)	  Standard   I/O,   operating	system
					  calls, and general purpose  routines
					  32-bit and 64-bit shared libraries.

       (For PA-RISC systems.)		  CRT screen handling shared library.

       (For Itanium-based systems.)	  CRT	screen	 handling  32-bit  and
					  64-bit shared libraries.

       (For PA-RISC systems.)		  ELF archive library.

       (For PA-RISC systems.)		  ELF shared library.

       (For Itanium-based systems.)	  ELF	32-bit	 and   64-bit	shared
					  libraries.

       (For PA-RISC systems.)		  SVID3,  XPG4.2, and ANSI C compliant
					  math archive library.

       (For PA-RISC systems.)		  SVID3, XPG4.2, and ANSI C  compliant
					  math archive library.

       (For Itanium-based systems.)	  SVID3,  XPG4.2, and ANSI C compliant
					  32-bit  and	64-bit	 math	shared
					  libraries.
