#
Two kinds of implementations are defined: hosted and freestanding ([intro.compliance]).
For a hosted implementation, this International Standard 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 19.
