On NetWare® 5.x and above, Libraries for C (LibC) sits atop MPK, which makes LibC the fastest possible interface without forcing you to code directly to the kernel. With LibC, the application gains portability with respect to the thread model, synchronization, memory allocation, and file and directory I/O.
IMPORTANT:You might find several functions in the various LibC header files that are not yet documented, which implies that they are not fully implemented. Do not use these functions in a production environment.
Because the NetWare operating system functions exposed in netware.h, screen.h, and events.h work, documentation has been included for these functions. The documentation is sketchy. If you have questions about these functions, please post them in the Libraries for C (LibC) Support Forum.
This section explains how to get started with LibC and contains sections on the following topics:
