C API?

[Thomas Barth]

Hi,
I am just looking for a complete reference to C, but I only can find
books teaching C. Other programming languages have got websites to look
up functions and other informations. Do you know a list of all C
functions with their appropriate header files?

Regards,
Thomas

Just about every operating system ships with online manuals for the
standard C library. Use man on UNIX/Linux or the help built into the
IDE on Windows.

There is no "complete" reference to C apart from the language
standard.
If you want a C99 library reference, have a look at the
information offered on dinkumware.com; however, there are
many other library references around. Apart from that, take
a look at the Harbison&Steele C reference book.


Cheers
Michael

I own the following:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/cus...487693-5971007

It is a good pure libc reference, nothing more.

Man what? I hate the ugly man pages on Linux and they dont provide an
overview of existing functions and descriptions! Lucky me, I ve found
what I was looking for

http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/

The following links may help:

www-ccs.ucsd.edu/c/

http://www.dinkumware.com/manuals/reader.aspx?lib=c99

https://www.lysator.liu.se/c/

https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/

The last link gives access to online, publically available, drafts of
the lastest standard for C.

Danger. Not everything in there is "standard C".

If you really want the straight scoop, you could buy the
standard, but may find it hard to read. You could use something
like C A Reference Manual by Harbison and Steele to good effect
however.
