Run-time library

A run-time library is a set of procedures, functions, (and in Object Pascal, methods, properties and objects) that are used by programs in general as part of their operation. These can include, but are not limited to (for Standard Pascal)::
 * Write
 * Writeln
 * New
 * Dispose
 * EOF
 * EOLN
 * Reset
 * Rewrite
 * Close

It can also include additional procedures which are compiler-specific in nature such as


 * Seek - for random-access file I/O
 * IOResult - to determine if an I/O error occurred
 * ParamCount - Number of command-line parameters
 * ParamStr - to obtain command-line parameters
