Standard Library headers
 

The interface of C standard library is defined by the following collection of headers.

<assert.h> Conditionally compiled macro that compares its argument to zero
<complex.h> (since C99) Complex number arithmetic
<ctype.h> Functions to determine the type contained in character data
<errno.h> Macros reporting error conditions
<fenv.h> (since C99) Floating-point environment
<float.h> Limits of floating-point types
<inttypes.h> (since C99) Format conversion of integer types
<iso646.h> (since C95) Alternative operator spellings
<limits.h> Ranges of integer types
<locale.h> Localization utilities
<math.h> Common mathematics functions
<setjmp.h> Nonlocal jumps
<signal.h> Signal handling
<stdalign.h> (since C11)(deprecated in C23) alignas and alignof convenience macros
<stdarg.h> Variable arguments
<stdatomic.h> (since C11) Atomic operations
<stdbit.h> (since C23) Macros to work with the byte and bit representations of types
<stdbool.h> (since C99)(deprecated in C23) Macros for boolean type
<stdckdint.h> (since C23) Macros for performing checked integer arithmetic
<stddef.h> Common macro definitions
<stdint.h> (since C99) Fixed-width integer types
<stdio.h> Input/output
<stdlib.h> General utilities: memory management, program utilities, string conversions, random numbers, algorithms
<stdmchar.h> (since C29) Text transcode
<stdnoreturn.h> (since C11)(deprecated in C23) noreturn convenience macro
<string.h> String handling
<tgmath.h> (since C99) Type-generic math (macros wrapping math.h and complex.h)
<threads.h> (since C11) Thread library
<time.h> Time/date utilities
<uchar.h> (since C11) UTF-16 and UTF-32 character utilities
<wchar.h> (since C95) Extended multibyte and wide character utilities
<wctype.h> (since C95) Functions to determine the type contained in wide character data

[edit] Feature test macros (since C23)

Feature test macros are defined in corresponding headers respectively since C23. Note that not all headers contain such a macro.
