C COMPILER->Compiler Support Files->Introducing compiler support files

A number of support files are supplied with the C compiler.  These contain either header information or library code.  The following files are provided:

    
Header files

stdio.h stdlib.h string.h malloc.h ctype.h stdarg.h stddef.h limits.h conio.h math.h float.h


Library files
    
lib68020.lib lib68881.lib flb68020.lib

lib68020.lib contains the startup module, standard integer library and other necessary runtime routines.

lib68881.lib provides the floating point library for the 68881 co-processor.

flb68020.lib provides the alternative floating point library for use if your target board does not have a 68881 maths co-processor.

Header files included by the format

#include "stdio.h"

can be located either in the current directory or in the directory specified by the INCLUDE environment variable.  (See the description of the SET command in your MS-DOS manual to see how to set this variable).

Header files included by the format

#include <stdio.h>

can only be located in the directory specified by the INCLUDE environment variable.

A detailed description of the library routines are presented in section .
