.SH NAME
intro \- introduction to miscellaneous library functions
.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions constitute minor libraries and other miscellaneous
run-time facilities.  Most are available only when programming in
C.  The list below includes libraries which provide
device independent plotting functions,
terminal independent screen management routines
for two dimensional non-bitmap display terminals, 
functions for managing data bases with inverted indexes,
and sundry routines used in executing commands on remote
machines.  The routines
.IR getdiskbyname ,
.IR rcmd ,
.IR rresvport ,
.IR ruserok ,
and
.I rexec
reside in the standard C run-time library \*(lq\-lc\*(rq.
All other functions are located in separate libraries
indicated in each manual entry.
