This is an example of documentation generated by ZigDoc, an alternative to Zig's built-in Auto Doc feature. See also examples in other modes/formats. The project being documented here (as the example) is the Zig standard library. Public Function

Public Function

std.Target.requiresLibC

pub fn requiresLibC(target: *const Target) bool

Does this target require linking libc? This may be the case if the target has an unstable syscall interface, for example.

Params

target: *const Target
