+@cindex system header files
+
+The header files declaring interfaces to the operating system and
+runtime libraries often cannot be written in strictly conforming C.
+Therefore, GNU C gives code found in @dfn{system headers} special
+treatment.  Certain categories of warnings are suppressed, notably those
+enabled by @samp{-pedantic}.  For example, a hypothetical definition of
+@code{printf} as a variable argument macro:
+
+@smallexample
+#define printf(format, args...) fprintf(stdout, format , ##args)
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+would cause a warning with -pedantic if it appeared in your own code,
+but not if it appeared in @file{stdio.h}.
+
+Normally, only the headers found in specific directories are considered
+system headers.  The set of these directories is determined when GCC is
+compiled.  There are, however, two ways to add to the set.
+
+@findex -isystem
+The @samp{-isystem} command line option adds its argument to the list of
+directories to search for headers, just like @samp{-I}.  In addition,
+any headers found in that directory will be considered system headers.
+Note that unlike @samp{-I}, you must put a space between @samp{-isystem}
+and its argument.
+
+All directories named by @samp{-isystem} are searched @strong{after} all
+directories named by @samp{-I}, no matter what their order was on the
+command line.  If the same directory is named by both @samp{-I} and
+@samp{-isystem}, @samp{-I} wins; it is as if the @samp{-isystem} option
+had never been specified at all.
+
+@findex #pragma system_header
+There is also a directive, @samp{#pragma system_header}, which tells GCC
+to consider the rest of the current include file a system header, no
+matter where it was found.  Code that comes before the @samp{#pragma} in
+the file will not be affected.
+
+@samp{#pragma system_header} has no effect in the primary source file.
