Because this is the function (no bad pun intended) of a library.  You can
chose whatever library that you want that does the job.  If the library is
good enough, or fills a particular niche, it may become "de-facto" standard.

Remember that C provides no I/O.  This needs to be provided by the (operating)
system.
