stdlib.h(0P) POSIX Programmer's Manual stdlib.h(0P)
PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
stdlib.h -- standard library definitions
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
DESCRIPTION
Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends the
ISO C standard. Applications shall define the appropriate feature test
macro (see the System Interfaces volume of POSIX.1-2008, Section 2.2,
The Compilation Environment) to enable the visibility of these symbols
in this header.
The <stdlib.h> header shall define the following macros which shall
expand to integer constant expressions:
EXIT_FAILURE
Unsuccessful termination for exit(); evaluates to a non-
zero value.
EXIT_SUCCESS
Successful termination for exit(); evaluates to 0.
{RAND_MAX} Maximum value returned by rand(); at least 32767.
The <stdlib.h> header shall define the following macro which shall
expand to a positive integer expression with type size_t:
{MB_CUR_MAX}
Maximum number of bytes in a character specified by the
current locale (category LC_CTYPE).
The <stdlib.h> header shall define NULL as described in <stddef.h>.
The <stdlib.h> header shall define the following data types through
typedef:
div_t Structure type returned by the div() function.
ldiv_t Structure type returned by the ldiv() function.
lldiv_t Structure type returned by the lldiv() function.
size_t As described in <stddef.h>.
wchar_t As described in <stddef.h>.
In addition, the <stdlib.h> header shall define the following symbolic
constants and macros as described in <sys/wait.h>:
WEXITSTATUS
WIFEXITED
WIFSIGNALED
WIFSTOPPED
WNOHANG
WSTOPSIG
WTERMSIG
WUNTRACED
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

from <stddef.h>, <limits.h>, <math.h>, and <sys/wait.h>.
The following sections are informative.
