Specifies the form and establishes the interpretation of programs written in the C programming language. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from ISO/IEC 9899:1990.

This International Standard specifies the form and establishes the interpretation of programs written in the C programming language. It specifies- the representation of C programs;- the syntax and constraints of the C language;- the semantic rules for interpreting C programs;- the representation of input data to be processed by C programs;- the representation of output data produced by C programs;- the restrictions and limits imposed by a conforming implementation of C.This International Standard does not specify- the mechanism by which C programs are transformed for use by a data-processing system;- the mechanism by which C programs are invoked for use by a data-processing system;- the mechanism by which input data are transformed for use by a C program;- the mechanism by which output data are transformed after being produced by a C program;- the size or complexity of a program and its data that will exceed the capacity of any specific data-processing system or the capacity of a particular processor;- all minimal requirements of a data-processing system that is capable of supporting a conforming implementation.
