Where are all the functions gone that used to be in libc?



The C library has exploded. The manual page may give an
indication where to find a specific function.


Those libraries are essentially split over two directories: 




	    /usr/lib /usr/ccs/lib.


Important libraries: 




	/usr/lib:


	    libsocket       - socket functions


	    libnsl          - network services library







	/usr/ccs/lib:


	    libgen          - regular expression functions


	    libcurses       - the SysVR4 curses/terminfo library.

In Solaris 7 the contents of /usr/ccs/lib was moved back to
/usr/lib.
