It's not listing the functions that ctime should contain -- 18.7 para 1
suggests that ctime should contain time(), and paragraph 2 says that ctime
should contain everything from time.h.  If this is the case, why are the
functions from time.h (asctime(), clock(), ctime(), difftime(), gmtime(),
localtime(), mktime(), strftime(), time()) not listed in table 21?  What's
special about clock()?

The rest of <ctime> is described in clause 20.5 ("Date and time").  clock()
is described in clause 18 ("Language support") because it returns an amount
of time used, probably discontinuously, rather than a point or duration in
real time.

Tables 19 through 23 list only those parts of the C standard library
that they've chosen to classify as "Other runtime support". <cstdlib>,
in particular, contains a great many more things than are listed in
Table 23. For instance, malloc() is listed in Table 33.
