#include <wctype.h> (ISO C)#include <wchar.h> (XPG4)
int iswctype (wint_t wc, wctype_t wc_prop);
wc
An object of type wint_t . The value of wc must be representable as a valid wide-character code in the current locale, or must equal the value of the macro WEOF. If it has any other value, the behavior is undefined.wc_prop

This function tests whether wc has the character-class property wc_prop. Set wc_prop by calling the wctype function.See also wctype in this section.
nonzero If the character has the property wc_prop. 0 If the character does not have the property wc_prop.

Generate uniformly distributed pseudorandom number sequences. Returns 48-bit signed, long integers.
#include <stdlib.h>long int jrand48 (unsigned short int xsubi[3]);
xsubi
An array of three short int that form a 48-bit integer when concatentated together.
This function generates pseudorandom numbers using the linear congruential algorithm and 48-bit integer arithmetic.The function returns signed long integers uniformly distributed over the range of y values, such that -231 <= y < 231 .
The function works by generating a sequence of 48-bit integer values, Xi, according to the linear congruential formula:
Xn+1 = (aXn+c)mod m n >= 0The argument m equals 248 , so 48-bit integer arithmetic is performed. Unless you invoke the lcong48 function, the multiplier value a and the addend value c are:
a = 5DEECE66D16 = 2736731631558 c = B16 = 138The jrand48 function requires that the calling program pass an array as the xsubi argument, which for the first call must be initialized to the initial value of the pseudorandom number sequence. Unlike the drand48 function, it is not necessary to call an initialization function prior to the first call.
By using different arguments, jrand48 allows separate modules of a large program to generate several independent sequences of pseudorandom numbers. For example, the sequence of numbers that one module generates does not depend upon how many times the function is called by other modules.
n Signed, long integers uniformly distributed over the range -2 31 <= y < 2 31 .
Sends a signal to the process specified by a process ID.
#include <signal.h>int kill (int pid, int sig);
pid
The process ID.sig
The signal code.
This function is restricted to C and C++ programs that include the main function.The kill function sends a signal to a process, as if the process had called raise . If the signal is not trapped or ignored by the target program, the program exits.
OpenVMS VAX and Alpha implement different rules about what process you are allowed to send signals to. A program always has privileges to send a signal to a child started with vfork / exec . For other processes, the results are determined by the OpenVMS security model for your system.
Because of an OpenVMS restriction, the kill function cannot deliver a signal to a target process that runs an image installed with privileges.
Unless you have system privileges, the sending and receiving processes must have the same user identification code (UIC).
On OpenVMS systems before Version 7.0, kill treats a signal value of 0 as if SIGKILL were specified.
For OpenVMS Version 7.0 and higher systems, if you include <stdlib.h> and compile with the _POSIX_EXIT feature-test macro set, then:
- If the signal value is 0, kill validates the process ID but does not send any signals.
- If the process ID is not valid, kill returns --1 and sets errno to ESRCH.
0 Indicates that kill was successfully queued. --1 Indicates errors. The receiving process may have a different UIC and you are not a system user, or the receiving process does not exist.
Returns the absolute value of an integer as a long int .
#include <stdlib.h>long int labs (long int j);
j
A value of type long int .
Initializes a 48-bit uniformly distributed pseudorandom number sequences.
#include <stdlib.h>void lcong48 (unsigned short int param[7]);
param
An array that in turn specifies the initial Xi, the multiplier value a, and the addend value c.
This function generates pseudorandom numbers using the linear congruential algorithm and 48-bit integer arithmetic.You can use lcong48 to initialize the random number generator before you call any of the following functions:
drand48
lrand48
mrand48The lcong48 function specifies the initial Xi value, the multiplier value a, and the addend value c. The param array elements specify the following:
param[0-2] Xi param[3-5] Multiplier a value param[6] 16-bit addend c value After lcong48 has been called, a subsequent call to either srand48 or seed48 restores the standard a and c as specified previously.
The lcong48 function does not return a value.
See also drand48 , lrand48 , mrand48 , srand48 , and seed48 in this section.
Returns its first argument multiplied by 2 raised to the power of its second argument; that is, x(2n) .
#include <math.h>double ldexp (double x, int n);
x
A base value of type double that is to be multiplied by 2n .n
The integer exponent value to which 2 is raised.
x(2 n) The first argument multiplied by 2 raised to the power of the second argument. 0 Indicates underflow; errno is set to ERANGE. HUGE_VAL Indicates overflow; errno is set to ERANGE.
Returns the quotient and the remainder after the division of its arguments.
#include <stdlib.h>ldiv_t ldiv (long int numer, long int denom);
numer
A numerator of type long int .denom
A denominator of type long int .
The type ldiv_t is defined in the <stdlib.h> header file as follows:
typedef struct { long quot, rem; } ldiv_t;See also div in this section.
Signals Curses to leave the cursor at the current coordinates after an update to the window.
#include <curses.h>leaveok (WINDOW *win, bool boolf);
win
A pointer to the window.boolf
A Boolean TRUE or FALSE value. If boolf is TRUE, the cursor remains in place after the last update and the coordinate setting on win changes accordingly. If boolf is FALSE, the cursor moves to the currently specified (y,x) coordinates of win.
This function defaults to moving the cursor to the current coordinates of win. The bool type is defined in the <curses.h> header file as follows:
#define bool int
Creates a new link (directory entry) for an existing file.
#include <unistd.h>link (const char *path1, const char *path2);
path1
Pointer to a path name naming an existing file.path2
Pointer to a path name naming the new directory entry to be created.
The link function atomically creates a new link for the existing file, and the link count of the file is incremented by one.The link function can be used on directory files.
If link fails, no link is created and the link count of the file remains unchanged.
0 Successful completion. --1 Indicates an error. The function sets errno to one of the following values:
- EEXIST -- The link named by path2 exists.
- EFTYPE -- Wildcards appear in either path1 or path2.
- EINVAL -- One or both arguments specify a syntactically invalid path name.
- ENAMETOOLONG -- The length of path1 or path2 exceeds {PATH_MAX}, or a path name component is longer than {NAME_MAX}.
- EXDEV -- The link named by path2 and the file named by path1 are on different devices.
