p The n stdlib.h header also prototypes several important functions such as .Xr abort 3 , .Xr atoi 3 , .Xr bsearch 3 , .Xr free 3 , .Xr malloc 3 , and .Xr strtol 3 . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr stddef 3 , .Xr types 3 , .Xr unistd 3 .Sh STANDARDS As described here, the n stdlib.h header conforms to .St -isoC-99 and .St -p1003.1-2001 . .Sh HISTORY In the current form the n stdlib.h header was introduced in .Nx 0.8 .
