+<h3 class="section">8.1 Introduction to intrinsic procedures</h3>
+
+<p>The intrinsic procedures provided by GNU Fortran include procedures required
+by the Fortran 95 and later supported standards, and a set of intrinsic
+procedures for backwards compatibility with G77. Any conflict between
+a description here and a description in the Fortran standards is
+unintentional, and the standard(s) should be considered authoritative.
+</p>
+<p>The enumeration of the <code>KIND</code> type parameter is processor defined in
+the Fortran 95 standard. GNU Fortran defines the default integer type and
+default real type by <code>INTEGER(KIND=4)</code> and <code>REAL(KIND=4)</code>,
+respectively. The standard mandates that both data types shall have
+another kind, which have more precision. On typical target architectures
+supported by <code>gfortran</code>, this kind type parameter is <code>KIND=8</code>.
+Hence, <code>REAL(KIND=8)</code> and <code>DOUBLE PRECISION</code> are equivalent.
+In the description of generic intrinsic procedures, the kind type parameter
+will be specified by <code>KIND=*</code>, and in the description of specific
+names for an intrinsic procedure the kind type parameter will be explicitly
+given (e.g., <code>REAL(KIND=4)</code> or <code>REAL(KIND=8)</code>). Finally, for
+brevity the optional <code>KIND=</code> syntax will be omitted.
+</p>
+<p>Many of the intrinsic procedures take one or more optional arguments.
+This document follows the convention used in the Fortran 95 standard,
+and denotes such arguments by square brackets.
+</p>
+<p>GNU Fortran offers the <samp>-std=</samp> command-line option,
+which can be used to restrict the set of intrinsic procedures to a
+given standard. By default, <code>gfortran</code> sets the <samp>-std=gnu</samp>
+option, and so all intrinsic procedures described here are accepted. There
+is one caveat. For a select group of intrinsic procedures, <code>g77</code>
+implemented both a function and a subroutine. Both classes
+have been implemented in <code>gfortran</code> for backwards compatibility
+with <code>g77</code>. It is noted here that these functions and subroutines
+cannot be intermixed in a given subprogram. In the descriptions that follow,
+the applicable standard for each intrinsic procedure is noted.
