New functions are added to the VSI C Run-Time Library with each version of VSI C. These functions are implemented and shipped with the OpenVMS operating system, while the documentation and header files containing their prototypes are shipped with versions of the VSI C compiler. You might have a newer version of VSI C that has header files and documentation for C RTL functions that are not supported on your older OpenVMS system. For example, if your target operating system platform is OpenVMS Version 7.2, you cannot use C RTL functions introduced on OpenVMS Version 7.3, even though they are documented in this manual. The following tables list what C RTL functions are supported on recent OpenVMS versions. This is helpful for determining the functions to avoid using on your target OpenVMS platforms.
