stdlib.h(0P) POSIX Programmer's Manual stdlib.h(0P)
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.
stdlib.h — standard library definitions
#include <stdlib.h>
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.1‐2017, 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).
In the POSIX locale the value of {MB_CUR_MAX} shall be 1.
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.

symbols from <stddef.h>, <limits.h>, <math.h>, and <sys/wait.h>.
