C Library

C++ Standard Library:(Miscellaneous librarie Standard Template Library (STL) Input/Output Stream Library)

The standard C++ library is a collection of functions, constants, classes, objects and templates that extends the C++ language providing basic functionality to perform several tasks, like classes to interact with the operating system, data containers, manipulators to operate with them and algorithms commonly needed.

The declarations of the different elements provided by the library are split in several headers that shall be included in the code in order to have access to its components:

algorithm　complex　exception　list　stack

bitset　csetjmp　fstream　locale　stdexcept

cassert　csignal　functional　map　strstream

cctype　cstdarg　iomanip　memory　streambuf

cerrno　cstddef　ios　new　string

cfloat　cstdio　iosfwd　numeric　typeinfo

ciso646　cstdlib　iostream　ostream　utility

climits　cstring　istream　queue　valarray

clocale　ctime　iterator　set　vector

cmath　deque　limits　sstream　 　It can be divided into:

C Library

The elements of the C language library are also included as a subset of the C++ Standard library. These cover many aspects, from general utility functions and macros to input/output functions and dynamic memory management functions:

cassert　C Diagnostics Library (header)

cctype　 Character handling functions (header)

cerrno　 C Errors (header)

cfloat　 Characteristics of floating-point types (header)

ciso646　 ISO 646 Alternative operator spellings (header)

climits　 Sizes of integral types (header)

clocale　C localization library (header)

cmath　C numerics library (header)

csetjmp　 Non local jumps (header)

csignal　 C library to handle signals (header)

cstdarg　 Variable arguments handling (header)

cstddef　C Standard definitions (header)

cstdio　 C library to perform Input/Output operations (header)

cstdlib　 C Standard General Utilities Library (header)

cstring　 C Strings (header)

ctime　 C Time Library (header)

Input/Output Stream Library

Provides functionality to use an abstraction called streams specially designed to perform input and output operations on sequences of character, like files or strings.

This functionality is provided through several related classes, as shown in the following relationship map, with the corresponding header file names on top:
