advance Compiles and matches regular-expression patterns. Note Commands use the regcomp, regexec, regfree, and regerror subroutines for the functions described in this article.
aio_cancel Cancels one or more outstanding asynchronous I/O requests.

alarm Manipulates the expiration time of interval timers.
alloca Provides a memory allocator.
allocb Allocates message and data blocks.
alphasort Scans or sorts directory contents.
arm_end The arm_end subroutine is used to mark the end of an application. This subroutine call must always be called when a program that issued an arm_init () subroutine call terminates. In the PTX implementation of ARM, application data structures may persist after arm_end is issued.
arm_end2 The arm_end subroutine is used to mark the end of an application. This subroutine call must always be called when a program that issued an arm_init () subroutine call terminates. In the PTX implementation of ARM, application data structures may persist after arm_end is issued. This may not be the case for the lower library implementation.
arm_getid The arm_getid subroutine is used to register a transaction as belonging to an application and assign a unique identifier to the application/transaction pair. In the PTX implementation of ARM, multiple instances of a transaction within one application can't be defined. A transaction must be registered before any ARM measurements can begin.
arm_getid2 The arm_getid subroutine is used to register a transaction as belonging to an application and assign a unique identifier to the application/transaction pair. In the PTX implementation of ARM, multiple instances of a transaction within one application can't be defined. The lower library implementation of this subroutine may provide support for instances of transactions. A transaction must be registered before any ARM measurements can begin.
arm_init The arm_init subroutine is used to define an application or a unique instance of an application to the ARM library. In the PTX implementation of ARM, instances of applications can't be defined. An application must be defined before any other ARM subroutine is issued.
arm_start The arm_start subroutine is used to mark the beginning of the execution of a transaction. Measurement of the transaction response time starts at the execution of this subroutine.
arm_start2 The arm_start subroutine is used to mark the beginning of the execution of a transaction. Measurement of the transaction response time starts at the execution of this subroutine.
arm_stop The arm_stop subroutine is used to mark the end of the execution of a transaction. Measurement of the transaction response time completes at the execution of this subroutine.
arm_stop2 The arm_stop subroutine is used to mark the end of the execution of a transaction. Measurement of the transaction response time completes at the execution of this subroutine.
arm_update The arm_update subroutine is used to collect information about a transaction's progress. It is a no-operation subroutine in the PTX implementation.
arm_update2 The arm_update subroutine is used to collect information about a transaction's progress. It is a no-operation subroutine in the PTX implementation but may be fully implemented by the lower library.
