[Q]search.h is a part of Standard C library?

[itsolution]

Following is a snippet of FreeBSD man page.
It seems to indicate search.h is a part of Standard C library.
True?
What's the exact list of Standard C library headers?
Looks like most modent OS supports search.h by defaul, though.

True?
False.

What's the exact list of Standard C library headers?

See section 7 of the C99 standard.

Looks like most modent OS supports search.h by defaul, though.

Maybe (I think most UNIX like systems have it), but it isn't portable.

No. For one thing, search.h is a header, not a library! And for another
thing, it's not a standard header, and insque and remque are not
standard C functions. Almost certainly they simply mean "we've dumped
insque and remque into the same library that we used for the standard
library functions".

What's the exact list of Standard C library headers?

It depends on which C you've got - C90 or C99 (or indeed C95).

For C90, you can find the list in K&R2. For C95, add <iso646.h>. For
C99, add Uncle Tom Cobbley and all.

This is an extension to the C library provided by FreeBSD.
You can find the list of header files in standard C
in the C standard document available from ANSI/ISO.

You will find that info in the Appendix B (Library summary)
of the standard document.

Read further down. On NetBSD at least, the same man page says:

STANDARDS
The insque() and remque() functions conform to IEEE
Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
