This manual is organized into three parts: a conceptual part, a reference part, and crossreferencing aids.
The conceptual part, which follows this preface, includes the following chapters:
a general description of the most important features of the C library and the basic characteristics of interactions between operating systems
lists of all functions, macros and external variables described in the reference part, arranged by subject matter into themes.
The reference part contains detailed descriptions of each individual function, macro, and variable in alphabetical order.
The cross-referencing aids include a glossary of terms and a list of references to related literature in addition to a detailed index.
Documentation of CRTE and the C development system
The C and C++ User Guides (manuals „C Compiler“ [3 (Related publications)] und „C/C++ Compiler“ [4 (Related publications)]) explain in detail how the CRTE library can be accessed when compiling, linking and executing a C/C++ program.
General notes and linkage examples for the common runtime environment of C, C++ and COBOL85/COBOL2000 can be found in the "CRTE" User Guide [7 (Related publications)].
