<stddef.h>(P)              POSIX Programmer's Manual             <stddef.h>(P)



NAME
       stddef.h - standard type definitions

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stddef.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The <stddef.h> header shall define the following macros:

       NULL   Null pointer constant.

       offsetof(type, member-designator)

              Integer  constant  expression of type size_t, the value of which
              is the offset in bytes to the structure member  (member-designa-
              tor), from the beginning of its structure (type).


       The <stddef.h> header shall define the following types:

       ptrdiff_t
              Signed integer type of the result of subtracting two pointers.

       wchar_t
              Integer  type whose range of values can represent distinct wide-
              character codes for all members of  the  largest  character  set
              specified  among  the locales supported by the compilation envi-
              ronment: the null character has the code value 0 and each member
              of  the  portable  character  set  has a code value equal to its
              value when used as the lone character in  an  integer  character
              constant.

       size_t Unsigned integer type of the result of the sizeof operator.


       The  implementation  shall support one or more programming environments
       in which the widths of ptrdiff_t, size_t, and wchar_t  are  no  greater
       than  the  width of type long.  The names of these programming environ-
       ments can be obtained using the confstr() function or the getconf util-
       ity.
