<title>C Standard Library</title>
<para>
The Standard Library contains functions which fall into two
classes: high-level I/O and convenience.
</para>
<para>
The high-level I/O functions provide facilities that are
normally considered part of the definition of other languages; for
example, the FORMAT "statement" of Fortran. In addition, automatic
buffering of I/O channels improves the speed of file access because
fewer system calls are necessary.
