The functions below were written with contracts that resemble their implementations in {{Tech:DOS}}.

{|class="sortable" border="1"
!Function
!Description
|-
|getch()||Reads the next character; does not wait for an enter; if enter, it reads it as cr; nothing is printed
|-
|getchar()||Reads the next character from stdin; waits for an enter; displays entry as it's typed including enter. Enter is read as newline. if newline is entry, it writes cr/nl pair (beginning of next line). First nl entered is not echoed; subsequent ones are. NLs entered are not reflected in memory; only the last cr (the one cvted to nl) is.
|-
|fgetchar()||Same as getchar()
|-
|getche()||Same as getch(), but echos character. Reads enter as carriage return. If newline is input, it goes to next line without cr on echo.
|-
|gets(str)||Echos input including enter. NL behavior is same as getchar(), except enter is not reflected in gets as it is in getchar.
|-
|perror(str)||Prints str then ": Error %i", where %i is current error number
|-
|puts(str)||Prints string, then a newline.
|-
|cgets(str)||str[0] is the max number of chars to get - 1. str[1] is the number of characters read - 1. When NL is entered, it goes to next line without cr first. NLs that are entered are saved in string. Very wild and wacky.
|-
|cputs(str)||Like puts, but does not translate NL into CR/NL.
|-
|cscanf, cprintf||Exactly like their scanf/printf counterparts, except that cprintf does not translate newlines into cr/nl.
|-
|getpass(str)||Asks for a password and returns a pointer to a string that has 8 chars in it, not counting the terminating null. Immediately after the 8th character is entered, the function automatically returns. Pressing enter before the 8th character returns the function.
|-
|gettext(x, y, x, y, buffer)||Gets text from the screen, ignoring CRs and NLs.
|-
|puttext(x, y, x, y, buffer)||Puts buffer onto the screen.
|-
|highvideo, lowvideo, normvideo||Makes fgColor high/low/normal intensity
|-
|delline||Moves remaining rows up by 1.
|-
|window(x, y, x, y)||Creates a text window.
|-
|_setcursortype(type)|| Selects no/underscore/block cursor
|-
|textattr(attr)||Selects attr text attribute
|-
|putch||Writes a character, but does not translate newline to CR/NL.
|-
|insline||Inserts a blank line in the current text window.

The library included the following {{Tech:MIDI}} functions:
*midiInitialize
*midiNoteOn(channel, note, pressure : integer)
*midiNoteOff(channel, note, velocity : integer)
*midiInstrument(channel, instrument : integer)
*midiUninitialize
*midiHoldPedal(channel : integer; hold : boolean)
*midiWait(ms : integer)
