The Standard C Library: P. J. Plauger

Standard C Library, The

This book was a bit of a disappointment to me. It covered the standard C library pretty well I guess, but it seems it was mostly devoted to detailing the history and philosophy of various functions and the rational being how to use them (or not use them, as the case may be). While I am probably one of the few people I know who are actually interested in that, I was more hoping for just a quick and dirty reference book. As it stands, I tend to use the appendix from the K&R C book more for this purpose.
