No, it's a question about the C language, not the compiler. If I own a Ford car I don't go to the Ford dealer to ask for directions to driving from London to Manchester. The functions are not "available from GCC" they are provided by the C library which is part of your operating system, not part of the compiler. This mailing list is not the right place for your question.
