+
+This reference manual describes the functions provided by the Red Hat
+``newlib'' version of the standard ANSI C library.  This document is not
+intended as an overview or a tutorial for the C library.  Each library
+function is listed with a synopsis of its use, a brief description,
+return values (including error handling), and portability issues.
+
+Some of the library functions depend on support from the underlying
+operating system and may not be available on every platform.  For
+embedded systems in particular, many of these underlying operating
+system services may not be available or may not be fully functional.
+The specific operating system subroutines required for a particular
+library function are listed in the ``Portability'' section of the
+function description.  @xref{Syscalls}, for a description of the
+relevant operating system calls.
