Library Variables
Following are the variable types defined in the header stddef.h −
| Sr.No. | Variable & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 |
ptrdiff_t This is the signed integral type and is the result of subtracting two pointers. |
| 2 |
size_t This is the unsigned integral type and is the result of the sizeof keyword. |
| 3 |
wchar_t This is an integral type of the size of a wide character constant. |

| Sr.No. | Macro & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 |
NULL
This macro is the value of a null pointer constant. |
| 2 |
offsetof(type, member-designator)
