returns and other common definitions and concepts.  Most of these func-
     tions are available from the C library, libc.  Other libraries, such as
     the math library, libm, must be indicated at compile time with the -l
     option of the compiler.

     The various libraries (followed by the loader flag):

     libc (-lc)  Standard C library functions.  When using the C compiler
                 cc(1), it is not necessary to supply the loader flag -lc for
                 these functions.  There are several `libraries' or groups of
                 functions included inside of libc: the standard I/O routines,
                 database routines, bit operators, string operators, character
                 tests and character operators, des encryption routines, stor-
                 age allocation, time functions, signal handling and more.

     libcurses (-lcurses -ltermcap)
                 Terminal independent screen management routines for two
                 dimensional non-bitmap display terminals.  (See ncurses(3).)

     libcompat (-lcompat)
                 Functions which are obsolete but are available for compati-
                 bility with 4.3BSD.  In particular, a number of system call
                 interfaces provided in previous releases of BSD have been
                 included for source code compatibility.  Use of these rou-
                 tines should, for the most part, be avoided.  The manual page
                 entry for each compatibility routine indicates the proper
                 interface to use.

     libkvm (-lkvm)
                 Functions used to access kernel memory are in this library.
                 They can be used against both a running system and a crash
                 dump.  (See kvm(3).)

     libl (-ll)  The library for lex(1).

     libm (-lm)  The math library, libm.  The math library is loaded as needed
                 by the Pascal compiler, but not by the C compiler which
                 requires the -lm flag.  (See math(3).)

     libmp (-lmp)

     libtermcap (-ltermcap)
                 The terminal independent operation library package.  (See
                 termcap(3).)

     liby (-ly)  The library for yacc(1).
