8 System Libraries

Some programming support libraries may be included automatically at the end of your program by the C-INTERCAL compiler. While such a convenience feature might be judged not in the spirit of INTERCAL, the required level of perversity is arguably restored by the way inclusion is triggered: whenever your program refers to a line from specified magic ranges without defining any line in those ranges in the program.

(CLC-INTERCAL does not have this feature, but it is trivial to concatenate a copy of any desire library onto the end of the program.)

The following table maps magic line ranges to systen libraries. Descriptions of the libraries follow it.
