<sect>Introduction<p>

cc65 is a C compiler for 6502 based systems. It implements a subset of the ISO
C standard plus additional functions specially crafted for 6502 systems or
just some of the supported machines. This function refrence describes the
available functions together with any limitations.

For an overview about the available libraries, their purpose, and any
differences to the ISO standard, please have a look at the <htmlurl
url="library.html" name="cc65 Library Overview">.

<bf/Note:/ Standard C functions are listed here, but not described in detail.
Since these functions behave identical on all standard compliant systems, they
are described in any book covering standard C.

Each entry for a function contains a detailed description
