Defines the macros traditionally defined in the Standard C library header <string.h>.

#if <TRADITIONAL C HEADERS>
   #include <string.h>
namespace std {
   using ::memchr; 
   using ::memcmp;
   using ::memcpy; 
   using ::memmove; 
   using ::memset;
   using ::size_t; 
   using ::strcat; 
   using ::strchr; 
   using ::strcmp;
   using ::strcoll; 
   using ::strcpy; 
   using ::strcspn;
   using ::strerror;
   using ::strlen;
   using ::strncat;
   using ::strncmp;
   using ::strncpy; 
   using ::strpbrk;
   using ::strrchr; 
   using ::strspn; 
   using ::strstr;
   using ::strtok; 
   using ::strxfrm;
}
#endif

Remarks

Including this header also ensures that the names declared with external linkage in the Standard C library header are declared in the std namespace. In this implementation, the names may or may not also be declared in the global namespace, depending on the specific translation environment.
