libcres.a(5)                                                   libcres.a(5)




 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      libcres.a - a subset of functions from libc.a

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The libcres.a library is an archive of selected functions from libc
      which are leaf functions that do not use shared data.  This library
      provides applications with the ability to call those overheadsensitive
 functions more efficiently than would be possible if those
      functions were in a shared library.

      The libcres.a usage model has changed significantly for HP-UX 11i
      Version 1.5.  In the previous HP-UX 11i release, libcres.a needs to be
      explicitly linked with an application by the linker option -lcres.

      On the other hand, in HPUX 11i Version 1.5, the linking with libcres.a
      is handled automatically when application includes the appropriate
      header files.  It is required to include the relevant header files to
      take advantage of the library.  When the header files are not
      included, libcres routines are not linked in, even if this library is
      explicitly linked.  It is unnecessary to explicitly link the libcres.a
      library with an application by the linker option -lcres, though it is
      harmless.

 WARNINGS    [Toc]    [Back]
      The contents of this library are subject to change in future releases.
