6.16) 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.

See Intro(3) for more details.
