An Introduction to Design Patterns in C++ with Qt 4

Appendix B. Standard Headers

This book uses a small subset of the Standard Template Library (STL; also called the Standard Library). The standard header files we use are all listed here.

To use these classes and functions effectively, it is useful to know where to look for documentation.

Table B.1 lists standard header files. For some header files, there is a man page for the whole file. In other cases, you might find a man page for the individual function also.
