= C Runtime Functions =

Besides the large number of graphics- or GUI-specific functions in FilterMeister, a large number of the standard C runtime functions are available to the developer. Almost all of the functions defined in the C99 standard are provided and even some common extensions are at your disposal.

The most notable omissions are the well-known {{gets}} and {{scanf}}. Since these require some sort of console-based input, which FilterMeister currently does not support, these cannot be implemented.
