From: Orlando Sotomayor-Diaz (The Moderator) <cbosgd!std-c> mod.std.c Digest Thu, 15 May 86 Volume 16 : Issue 16 Today's Topics: MORE C standard differences Apr85-Feb86, part 6 of 9 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: From: ihnp4!utzoo!lsuc!msb Subject: MORE C standard differences Apr85-Feb86, part 6 of 9 To: utzoo!ihnp4!hou2d!osd # D.10.4.3 The getenv function N--> The array pointed to is not modifiable by the program, but may be N--> overwritten by a subsequent call to the getenv function. # D.10.4.4 The onexit function If the registration succeeds, the onexit function returns a value * that compares unequal to {--> the integer constant} 0. # {--> D.10.5 Searching and sorting utilities} # {--> D.10.5.1 The bsearch function} N--> Synopsis N--> #include <stdlib.h> N--> void *bsearch(const void *key, const void *base, N--> size_t nel, size_t keysize, N--> int (*compar)(const void *, const void *)); N--> Description N--> The bsearch function searches an array of nel objects, the ini- N--> tial member of which is pointed to by base, for a member that N--> matches the object pointed to by key. The size of each object is N--> specified by keysize. N--> The array shall be previously sorted in ascending order according N--> to a comparison function pointed to by compar, which is called N--> with two arguments that point to the objects being compared. The N--> function shall return an integer less than, equal to, or greater N--> than zero if the first argument is considered to be respectively N--> less than, equal to, or greater than the second. N--> Returns N--> The bsearch function returns a pointer to the matching member of N--> the array, or a null pointer if no match is found. # {--> D.10.5.2 The qsort function} N--> Synopsis N--> #include <stdlib.h> N--> void qsort(void *base, size_t nel, size_t keysize, N--> int (*compar)(const void *, const void *)); N--> Description N--> The qsort function sorts an array of nel objects, the initial N--> member of which is pointed to by base. The size of each object N--> is specified by keysize. N--> The array is sorted in ascending order according to a comparison N--> function pointed to by compar, which is called with two arguments N--> that point to the objects being compared. The function shall re- N--> turn an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the N--> first argument is considered to be respectively less than, equal N--> to, or greater than the second. N--> If two members compare as equal, their order in the sorted array N--> is unspecified. N--> Returns N--> The qsort function returns no value. # {--> D.10.6 Integer arithmetic functions} # {D.5.6.1 --> D.10.6.1} The abs function ... * #include {<math.h> --> <stdlib.h>} ... # {--> D.10.6.2 The idiv function} N--> Synopsis N--> #include <stdlib.h> N--> idiv_t idiv(int numer, int denom); N--> Description N--> The idiv function computes the quotient and remainder of the N--> division of the numerator numer by the denominator denom. If the N--> division is inexact, the sign of the quotient is that of the N--> mathematical quotient, and the magnitude of the quotient is the N--> largest integer less than the magnitude of the mathematical quo- N--> tient. If the result cannot be represented, the behavior is un- N--> defined. N--> Returns N--> The idiv function returns a structure with two elements: the quo- N--> tient and the remainder. The type returned is defined by N--> typedef struct { int quot, rem; } idiv_t; # {--> D.10.6.3 The ldiv function} N--> Synopsis N--> #include <stdlib.h> N--> ldiv_t ldiv(long numer, long denom); N--> Description N--> The ldiv function is similar to the idiv function, except that N--> the arguments and the members of the returned structure (which N--> has type ldiv_t) all have type long int. # D.11 STRING HANDLING <string.h> Remark: The memset and strlen functions are moved from #D.11.2.2 and #D.11.4.3, respectively, into #D.11.6, and the other func- tions' sections in #D.11.2 and #D.11.4 are renumbered according- ly. # D.11.1 String function conventions The header <string.h> declares several functions useful for mani- * pulating character arrays {--> and other objects treated as char- acter arrays}. # D.11.1 String function conventions <--O If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior <--O is undefined. # D.11.2.1 The memcpy function * The memcpy function copies n characters from the {array --> ob- * ject} pointed to by s2 into the {array --> object} pointed to by s1. Remark: This change is general through this section. # D.11.2.1 The memcpy function N--> Copying between objects that overlap shall take place correctly. # {D.11.2.3 --> D.11.2.2} The strcpy function N--> If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior N--> is undefined. # {D.11.2.4 --> D.11.2.3} The strncpy function N--> If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior N--> is undefined. # {D.11.2.4 --> D.11.2.3} The strncpy function If the string pointed to by s2 is longer than n characters, the * result {may --> will} not be null-terminated. ------------------------------ End of mod.std.c Digest - Thu, 15 May 86 13:31:29 EDT ****************************** USENET -> posting only through cbosgd!std-c.
