This section contains information on Sun Studio libraries.
Libraries provide a way to share code among several applications and a way to reduce the complexity of very large applications.The Solaris operating system comes with several libraries installed in /usr/lib. Most of these libraries have a C interface. Of these, the libc and libm, libraries are linked by the CC driver by default.
The ISO/IEC 9899:1999, Programming Languages - C standard specifies the form and establishes the interpretation of programs written in C. However, this standard leaves a number of issues as implementation-defined, that is, as varying from compiler to compiler. This section details these areas.

The libfast.a library provides speed-tuned versions of standard C library functions. Because it is an optional library, it can use algorithms and data representations that may not be appropriate for the standard C library, even though they improve the performance of most applications.
