16.4.2.5 Freestanding implementations [compliance]

1
#
Two kinds of implementations are defined: hosted and freestanding ([intro.compliance]); the kind of the implementation is implementation-defined.
For a hosted implementation, this document describes the set of available headers.

#
A freestanding implementation has an implementation-defined set of headers.
This set shall include at least the headers shown in Table 27.
