Hello,
Can anybody tell me where I can find a good reference documentation for the C language including the Libraries and their functions like <stdio.h> with various of functions like scanf, printf, .. etc
and thanks in advance!

7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
The manual. Seriously. If you're in some flavour of unix, type:
If you're under windows, google "unix man function-name".Code:man function-name
long time; /* know C? */
Unprecedented performance: Nothing ever ran this slow before.
Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
Real Programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas, because dec 25 == oct 31.
The best way to accelerate an IBM is at 9.8 m/s/s.

Dear Cactus
I'm using windows, i never tried to use Unix, I actually don't know how to begin working with Unix, I bought a book about OpenBSD and when I asked my college on school about this one, he said I should begin with Linux befor trying to enter the world of Unix .. I really didn't understand what he meant cauz I thought Linux is just one of the variants of Unix..
But anyway I am surviving with windows and at school if you choos networking as formation option then you will learn a second OS and that's Linux but I'm doing programming at software application level (High level) with Java and VB.net and now I want to learn programming at the software system level (low level) and that's why I choosed C and I think there is no better than C.
Thanks

if you are working with windows msdn.microsoft.com will be you friend aventually (maybe even hated friend
All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

OpenGroup.org, basically the on-line version of the man pages. Best way to find specifications for a standard function is to type "site:opengroup.org function_name" into google.

Most of the standard C functions (C99) -> http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/
I usually just google "[c function] function", where [] is optional. (Though if you leave out "c function" you often get PHP hits first, so you just have to scroll a bit.) Either that or I google "man page" and use one of the hits to do a search.
I like this online man page site for its in-depth explanations, though it doesn't have a search feature, so I usually just use google and click on its hit. (It's easy to spot with "opengroup" and all of those numbers.) I also like man.he.net because it has a search feature and the address is not that hard to remember.
