APIs.The Interix Software Development Kit (SDK) contains valuable interfaces and libraries. These include: the POSIX.1 interfaces; the POSIX.2 interfaces; the International Standards Organization/American National Standards Institute (ISO/ANSI) C libraries; many useful interfaces and libraries found on open systems; and libraries for lex, yacc, curses, and termcap. The Interix SDK also provides the C run-time startup code and other useful functions. These interfaces and libraries are gathered into the following libraries:
| Library | Description |
|---|---|
| libc.a | Interix functions and replacements for some standard C library calls. These libraries also contain the math routines. |
| libcrypt.a | Contains the crypt(2) and
encrypt(2)
APIs. |
| libcurses.a | Curses library routines. |
| libdb.a | Database routines library. |
| libform.a | Curses library functions for composing form screens. |
| libl.a | Lex library; normally replaced by a custom-written function. |
| libm.a | Math routines library. |
| libmenu.a | Curses library functions for composing menu systems. |
| libncurses.a | Ncurses library routines. |
| libpanel.a | Curses library functions for adding depth to windows. |
| libpsxdll.a | Symbols for functions in the Interix subsystem dynamic-link library (DLL). |
| librpclib.a | Remote Procedure Call (RPC)–related APIs. |
| libsocket.a | This library is a dummy library provided so that Make files need not be changed; it is not required to link with the socket calls. |
| libtermcap.a | Terminal interface functions. Both terminfo and termcap functions are supported. |
| libxti.a | XTI (X/Open Transport Interface) interfaces. |
| liby.a | The yacc library; normally replaced by a custom-written function. |
GCC/G++ libraries
