The details vary with the implementation; the intent does not.

Use #include "file.h" when including a header source file that is
part of the application source code.

Use #include <file.h> when including a header (n.b. not necessarily
a file) provided by the C implementation, for example standard
headers or headers for vendor-provided extensions.

Do anything else and you're asking for portability problems.
