That's not the language per se, but the C library specifications. Even
something as elemental as printf() is defined in the library and not in the
language spec. That is what I love about C, it cleanly distinguishes between
external functions and language primitives. That's what irked me about
Turbo Pascal, with pseudo-functions like writeln.

It will, as long as you are not relying on glibc enhancements.
I thought you were in med school?
