    gcc standard library function manual

    Are there any man pages for gcc standard library functions? descriptions about header files, etc...
    Or is there any book which contains a comprehensive documentation?
    or online manual pages?

    I remember such descriptions being available in Turbo C (those used to help me a lot ...when i used to use it long long back).

    gcc is the open source C language compiler, so it doesn't have libraries. The C language has libraries - lots of them. Do a Google search for things like C Reference, C API, and others you can think of to find the kind of programmer's library reference you're looking for.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    You probably need to install the man pages for the development tools - they are not installed by default on Ubuntu. Then you will have man page documentation for all of the standard library functions.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
    Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
