stdlib.h(3HEAD) Headers stdlib.h(3HEAD)
NAME
stdlib.h, stdlib - standard library definitions
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <stdlib.h> header defines the following macros:
EXIT_FAILURE Unsuccessful termination for exit(); evaluates to a non-zero value. See exit(3C).
EXIT_SUCCESS Successful termination for exit(); evaluates to 0.
NULL Null pointer.
{RAND_MAX} Maximum value returned by rand(); at least 32767. See rand(3C).
{MB_CUR_MAX} Integer expression whose value is the maximum number of bytes in a character specified by the current locale.
The following data types are defined 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>
See div(3C), which covers div(), ldiv(), and lldiv(), and stddef.h(3HEAD).
In addition, the symbolic names and macros listed below are defined as in <sys/wait.h>, for use in decoding the return value from system().
See wait.h(3HEAD) and system(3C).

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 IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, 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:
EXIT_FAILURE
Unsuccessful termination for exit(); evaluates to a non-zero value.
EXIT_SUCCESS
Successful termination for exit(); evaluates to 0.
NULL Null pointer.
{RAND_MAX}
Maximum value returned by rand(); at least 32767.
{MB_CUR_MAX}
Integer expression whose value is the maximum number of bytes in a character specified by the current locale.
The following data types shall be defined 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 following symbolic names and macros shall be defined as in <sys/wait.h> , for use in decoding the return value from sys-
tem():
