check syntax on gcc

How do we get offline help regarding syntax of a function on gcc. Thank you.

What do you call a "function on gcc"? Are you talking about the source code of the compiler or just some regular C library function?

I mean a regular C library function

For the standard C functions you can try, from the command line, "man FunctionName", ie "man printf". This should work if you have the documentation for gcc installed on your computer.

"man 3 FunctionName"
would give a much more comprehensive documentation.
