Are you after the most popular header files or
perhaps the most common functions or some common
identifier?

For example, EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE are common
identifiers from stdlib.h. However, if I am writing
a program the uses a lot of I/O, I'll include stdio.h,
but on an embedded system, I may not include any
library header files.

Also, how are you applying this information?
