libc(3LIB) Interface Libraries libc(3LIB)
NAME
libc - C library
DESCRIPTION
Functions in this library provide various facilities defined by System
V, ANSI C, POSIX, and so on. See standards(5). In addition, those
facilities previously defined in the internationalization and the wide-
character libraries are now defined in this library, as are the facili‐
ties previously defined in the multithreading libraries, libthread and
libpthread.
INTERFACES
The shared object libc.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined
below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object inter‐
faces.

NOTES
The synonyms compatibility library, c_synonyms.so.1, provides a mecha‐
nism to support old applications and libraries that were mistakenly
built using now-obsolete synonym symbols from libc.
Before the advent of direct binding (-B direct) libc provided many
functions with two names. For example, getpwent() and _getpwent().
These two names referred to exactly the same function in libc. The
leading-underscore symbol was intended to be used by system libraries
in order to avoid conflicting with an application that might define its
own version of getpwent() with completely different semantics. Stan‐
dard-conforming applications may not define and use function names with
leading underscores.
Solaris system libraries are now built with direct binding. This means
that a system library that calls getpwent() will bind directly to the
instance of getpwent() in libc, even if the application to which it is
linked defines a different getpwent() for its own use. The application
binds to its instance of getpwent() and there is no resulting conflict.
The direct binding mechanism is equally available to libraries not
delivered with Solaris.
As a result of this evolution, most of the leading-underscore synonym
symbols have been removed from libc. This means that applications that
call these now-obsolete function names will cease to work. They will
typically draw the error:
$ ./application
ld.so.1: fatal: relocation error: symbol _getpwent:
referenced symbol not found
Killed
All of the old leading-underscore symbols have been copied to the syn‐
onyms compatibility library. This library simply redirects the calls to
the non-underscore instances of the corresponding functions in libc.
Use it as a pre-loaded object:
$ LD_PRELOAD=c_synonyms.so.1 ./application
The synonyms compatibility library is intended neither to enable the
generation of applications that call the obsolete leading-underscore
synonym functions, nor to endorse this particular programming practice.
