[SOLVED] Where are standard library functions like getchar() defined?

I'm new to programming, and I'm curious about the definitions of standard library functions like getchar(), but when I look in stdio.h, all I see are function prototypes. Where is the actual definition? Is it built into the compiler?
Thanks for your help.

Thank you, I think I understand now. Correct me if I'm wrong: stdio.c is source code for glibc, which is compiled into a shared object file that is distributed with the glibc package. My only question would then be: how does the compiler know to link to the object file when it's not explicitly stated. For example when I compile a program, why do I not have to type:
gcc program.c /usr/lib/libc.so
and why does
gcc program.c
suffice?

    Where are the Library & Application Support folders that were available in Leopard 10.5.8 ?

    They're in the same location as before, but you need to use a method such as choosing Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and providing ~/Library/Application Support/ as the path.

  • Flash 7 where are the library contents?

    I am using Flash 7 and I need to free some images out of the
    library for some other use. So where are those images kept because
    i am not seeing how to do that with any library menus. When I try
    to launch an external editor for these pictures, it says unable
    because the original path from years ago is not there, as you would
    expect. I do not want the original path, i want the actual photos
    that are now in the actual library. Please advise, thank you

    hmm, those images were removed from the hd long ago cuz i
    thought they were imported into this mysterious library. I'm a
    little hesitant to screen grab cuz the resolution is dependent on
    the screen. I like pristine files.

  • [SOLVED]Where are the sata drivers?

    Hi people,
    I just bought a brandnew msi 770-C45 mainboard and want to install XP Pro.
    Now I know that you have to make a floppy with the sata drivers, but where are they? With every sata driver I tried XP only see 131Gb instead of the 320Gb.
    When I try a customized XP CD with integrated SATA drivers it work perfectly.
    Unfortunately after research I was not able to extract the sata drivers from the CD.
    Only I don't want customized XP, but the original XP.
    I also tried to search on the chipset, but no succeed.
    Normally they are on the CD. I tried every SATA/RAID folder and copy it to a floppy (per folder separatedly ofcourse  ) I tried the following folders:
    H:\ChipSet\AMD\XP\SBDrv\SATA (most likely, but strange that they talk about putting a sata card into the system)
    H:\RAID\Silicon_Image (tried all the three folders: SIL3114, SIL3132 and 3531)
    If you know where I can find the right drivers for a clean XP Pro 32bit install or which files to use, would be great!
    Thanks in advance :-)

    OK, thanks for the answers guys! :-)
    First post of Svet didn´t had the sentence ¨Use XP installation disk with SP2 or SP3 included/integrated¨.
    That was why I asked further. The normal XP here with me doesn´t has any SP onboard.
    I will slipstream the XP Pro with SP2 and try it.
    Again thanks!
    EDIT: Works like a charm  :D XP is installing on my sata, thanks dudes  , you

  • Where are FOP/PDF template substution strings defined/generated?

    Hi!
    I am working with the FOP / PDF templates. Can anyone tell me where substitution strings like "#PRN_TEMPLATE_HEADER_ROW#" defined or generated?
    What are all the substitution strings that can be used in FOP/PDF templates? What are their definitions?
    Thanks in advance for any help, hints, ideas, tricks, etc.!

    David,
    Those strings are used when printing report regions. So when you have a report, you'll find a number of customization attributes on the print attributes page, those attributes correspond to these substitution strings. When you create your own generic columns XSL-FO report layout under Shared Components, all substitution strings are listed in the item level help.

  • Where are iPhoto library, iTunes, Safari bookmarks, desktop icons...?

    When installing Leopard, my main internal "Macintosh HD" (where all my programs are loaded) didnt show as an option, so I installed on my secondary HD. Leopard runs OK from here, BUT, I cant find my iPhoto library, iTunes, Safari bookmarks, desktop icons, and the programs in the dock no longer show. Any advice?

    Sadly, this is still an issue.
    I guess plan A would be to find all the settings I am now missing and point the various programs to them. Though not sure how to do either of those things.
    If this is difficult, then plan B is to "boot back into ...Tiger drive" and reload Leopard in drive bay 1 as originally intended. Again, not sure how to do that - and why it didnt work the first time.
    Pls let me know if you think this is the right plan, and if so, what would the steps required look like.

  • Where are the library/preference folders?

    I changed to Lion.  Because the OS I started from had corrupt files I opted to partition and create a clean instal; and because of the corruption on the old system I do not want to use file migration.  The only two things I need to move are my .plist files for iTunes and iPhoto, which I can find on the old system but not on Lion.
    I unlocked the hidden files but I can't find the library or the prefernce folder in which to place the old .plist files.  Where is it?  Does anyone know?

  • Where are Aperture Library icons stored?

    After installation of Mountain Lion, all Aperture libraries have lost their icons. They are completely blank (clicking where they should be does nothing). Clicking a library name shows a gray area where the icon should be. Get Info shows the icon is blank. I found the Aperture library icon in the contents of the Aperture application so if that is where the icon is stored for libraries, it is not being used. I can paste iPhoto library icons in each of my Aperture libraries but it would be better if the libraries had their own icons back. A newly created library also does not have an icon.

    The Aperture  Libraries use a generic icon created by the Finder. This icon depends on the kind of the library and is not stored in the Aperture library package. But if you set a custom icon, you will see a file called "Icon?", when you browse the Aperture Library package from the Terminal, for example:
    Listing my Aperture Library "Leuchtfeuer" in the Terminal: This library has a custom icon.
    ls -aix ~/Pictures/_ApertureTestLibraries/Leuchttuerme.aplibrary
    769261 .                             
    5451826..
    769262 Aperture.aplib
    9311240 ApertureData.xml
    769265 Attachments
    769266 Database
    9330718 Icon?
    772295 Info.plist
    5445089 Library.data
    5445085 Library.iPhoto
    5445087 Library6.iPhoto
    772296 Masks
    772297 Masters   .............
    Sometimes the icon will not show, if the custom icon file has the wrong permissions. Then the icon should show again, if you delete the "Icon" file, for example:
          rm ~/Pictures/_ApertureTestLibraries/Leuchttuerme.aplibrary/Icon^M
    did reset the icon to the default icon.
    To enter the path to the icon file, only type "Ico" and then the tab key for command completion. The filename contains special characters, as you can see by the ^M in the example above.
    Since all your libraries have corrupted icons, I'd try to repair the permissions on your Aperture libraries or to repair the libraries, before starting to patch library packages however, see "Repairing and rebuilding your Library"

  • [SOLVED] Where are all of the Man pages?

    On my system, man-pages do not exist for many things e.g.  bash commands like ls, rm, cp & cd are missing?
    The directory /usr/man/ has the following folders: man1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8
    It would seem that at least numbers 2 & 6 are missing.
    I have reinstalled the man utility (though it already worked) & man-pages, though it doesn't give me access to the bash commands that I know man pages exist for.
    Any ideas?

    /etc/profile is read by the login shells only. So you could have got the desired effect w/o a reboot by doing either:

    OR...
    konsole --ls #starting it as a login shell
    What I needed to know was not just the line to add & where, which first answer told me, but also the line to delete, which second useful answer told me. I had logged out after adding the line, & decided after the removing the offending line that I will reboot for good measure!

  • [Solved] Where are all the different modes in gcalctool 6.6.2?

    This is what I see. I don't know how to turn on the scientific mode there.
    Thank you, guys. You and many other people make me love Arch forums I have to say that gnome 3.6 is very non-intuitive. Who can imagine that the menu for a small window at the corner of the 2nd monitor is on the panel of the 1st monitor?
    Last edited by dxxvi (2012-12-01 04:14:01)

    If you are currently running gnome 3.6, it sits in the application menu (the one you get when you click on the application icon in your top panel in gnome-shell). Else, it should be where foutrelis has shown you.
    Yeah in fact they still have design issues with two-monitor configurations, there should something to prevent single monitor behaviours when you are running a dual-desktop configuration. Perhaps is there an extension for this ?
    Here it is :

    Maybe this can help !

    If you are using Measurement Studio, you can download and use the Measurement Studio C++ interface for NI-Scope. You can download it from
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/57​1407DDD78BB81986256B9F0047241E?OpenDocument
    This interface provides C++ classes that use the Measurement Studio data types, such as CNiException and CNiReal64Vector. There also is a help file that plugs directly into the Measurement Studio help file for convenient class and function reference.

  • [SOLVED] Where are you, iwconfig?

    I've followed the Beginners Guide very closely (plus using various internet sources) and I've got as far as running X successfully. The computer running arch (IBM T60) can access internet flawlessly with wire, and so I thought I'd set up wireless now that I'm about to get things going. Unfortunately, as the title says, it seems iwconfig is not on my system. Shouldn't it be in the wireless-tools package? I've downloaded that twice, atleast.
    Wireless card is the Intel PRO 3945ABG [GOLAN] (from "lspci | grep -i net") using the drivers from "iwlwifi-3945-ucode". It starts using "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" and the little wireless icon, right below the screen, lights up. but when I'm about to connect using wconfig I get something like "-bash: iwconfig: command does not exist".
    Could the package mirrors have anything to do with this? I've read on several occasions that some mirrors aren't up-to-date, or that they are missing stuff. In my /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, i've got the mirror ftp://mirror.archlinux.fi/$repo/os/i686 uncommented and nothing else.
    Thankful for any help!
    Last edited by cewnb (2009-07-14 13:33:52)

    Hi, iwconfig is in the wireless_tools package which can be founn the core repository. Have you installed it with "pacman -Sy wireless-tools" or did you just downloaded the package? "pacman -Qii wireless_tools" shows also if the package is installed on your system.
