This manual presents ANSI C as the standard version of the C language. Where certain constructs are not available in compatibility mode, or would work differently, it is noted and the differences are described.

HP C/HP-UX, when invoked in ANSI mode, is a conforming implementation of ANSI C, as specified by American National Standard 9899-1990. This manual uses the terminology of that standard and attempts to explain the language defined by that standard, while also documenting the implementation decisions and extensions made in HP C/HP-UX. It is not the intent of this document to replicate the standard. Thus, you are encouraged to refer to the standard for any fine points of the language not covered here.
