NAME

libcres - subset of functions from libc

DESCRIPTION

The libcres library may improve the performance of applications that are linked to the shared-library

version of libc. Applications that frequently call the functions contained in this library may execute more

efﬁciently than would be possible if these functions were in the shared version of

libc. This improvement

is highly dependent on the application’s use of the included functions.

The

libcres library can be linked with an application with the use of the linker option

-lcres as docu-

mented in

ld (see ld(1)).

Some of the interfaces in libcres are listed below:

abs(), div(), ffs(), labs(),

ldiv(), llabs(), lldiv(), memchr(), memcmp(), mem-

move()

, memset(), strcat(), strchr(),

strcmp(), strcpy(), strcspn() ,

strlen(), strncat() , strncmp() , strncpy()

, strrchr() , strstr(), swab()

The contents of this library are subject to change in future releases.

WARNINGS

If the developer links an application with -lcres, the functions contained in this library cannot be

replaced with user-deﬁned functions of the same name. The developer must not use these names in the

application or unexpected results may occur.
