You are right in that the C stdlib is mostly useful as an SDK for writing simple UNIX command line tools. But for other things it's better to go down to OS-specific APIs or up to POSIX (if a POSIX environment is available) - which isn't a great deal to be honest. One of the greatest features of C is that it doesn't depend too much on its stdlib.

- pjmlp 2y agoSince C11 not depending too much on its stdlib is kind of relative.
