List of inbuilt C functions in stdlib.h file:
Function
|
Description
|
malloc() | This function is used to allocate space in memory during the execution of the program. |
calloc() | This function is also like malloc () function. But calloc () initializes the allocated memory to zero. But, malloc() doesn’t |
realloc() | This function modifies the allocated memory size by malloc () and calloc () functions to new size |
free() | This function frees the allocated memory by malloc (), calloc (), realloc () functions and returns the memory to the system. |
abs() | This function returns the absolute value of an integer . The absolute value of a number is always positive. Only integer values are supported in C. |
div() | This function performs division operation |
abort() | It terminates the C program |
exit() | This function terminates the program and does not return any value |
system() | This function is used to execute commands outside the C program. |
atoi() | Converts string to int |
atol() | Converts string to long |
atof() | Converts string to float |
strtod() | Converts string to double |
strtol() | Converts string to long |
getenv() | This function gets the current value of the environment variable |
setenv() | This function sets the value for environment variable |
putenv() | This function modifies the value for environment variable |
perror() | This function displays most recent error that happened during library function call. |
rand() | This function returns the random integer numbers |
delay() | This function Suspends the execution of the program for particular time |
