that may be part of your problem... you're looking in a wiki instead of a more proper place... all the FPC docs i read on the web are almost exactly like the help files you can use locally with a CHM viewer or similar... what you are looking for are these...

https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/index.html
https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/fcl/index.html

and actually, you would start here at the beginning...

https://www.freepascal.org/docs.var


it is rather interesting that the above docs.var doesn't appear to be mentioned in the wiki's page for Lazarus_Documentation... all the links in the #Free_Pascal_Compiler_Documentation section of that page point to lazarus-ccr instead of the above docs.var location...

i don't know which is right but i do know you're not looking in the right place or your google-fu is lacking a bit... i started this reply with a search for "freepascal runtime library" and the second hit was the docs-html one above... ;)


That is exactly the documentation I'm talking about.  I've seen all of them.  I got to them via the wiki, so I suppose I should have said "The wiki, and documentation linked to from there".
