the C lib reference is not organized by header. it is organized by
functionality. stdlib contains various functions that do not fit together
(for example, malloc and strtoul and rand). so, if you want to know about
random numbers, you follow the link for random numbers, find the function
you are looking for, and the documentation tells you which header to
include. this way, you don't have to remember which header each and every
function lives in. (quick, which header do you need to include for abs?)
now, with info, you can do
info libc alpha realloc
to go straight to the documentation for realloc.
if you think things should be organized differently, feel free to make the
necessary changes.
