The standard library that is distributed with the compiler is documented in
the manual [1]. It is however mis-organized in my opinion. You'll see a
link to the "core library", which is really also part of the "standard
library" for which there's a separate link. Further, the "core library"
takes you to a page that isn't all that useful, except at the bottom where
you eventually find a link to the "Pervasives" module. The Pervasives
module is what is open by default, and thus the thing you'd want to find
first.

The above library is deliberately kept very minimal. There are two more
comprehensive libraries that are commonly used by the community: Batteries
[2] and Core [3].
