It's one of several libraries that will provide that function.

Yes it is meant to be used as a standard libary.  Function Prototypes are
available in any standard C library reference.  Basically it implements the C
standard library functions for ANSI C90.

It does, however, need to have interface functions provided so it can adapt to
different processors and boards.  One example is newlib-lpc

You might want to start with something like WINARM to limit the number 
of things
you need to learn at one time.
