This section gives an overview of the interfaces provided
by the different syslibs that comes bundled with GHC.
At the moment, there four different collections of system libraries:
-
The GHC system library - collection of interfaces that mainly
have grown out of abstractions used to implement GHC itself.
-
Parts of the HBC libraries.
-
The Posix interface - a mostly complete interface to OS functionality as
specified by POSIX 1003.1. Sadly, this library isn't a standard
Haskell library...yet.
-
The contrib libraries - oodles of numeric codes..
If you provide a `-syslib <name>'
option on the command line, then the interfaces for that library will
come into scope (and may be `import'ed), and the code will be added
in at link time.
