    Libraries Of C with Ubuntu

    I work on Ubuntu. I am familiar with Turbo C and I used to browse the libraries in Turbo C quite easily. Now, since I am on Ubuntu I want to know how I may browse the libraries.
    Thank you.

    What sort of things do you want to do, that you might need to use libraries for? The libraries available for C programming on ubuntu number in the thousands, so simply browsing them is not realistic for most people. If you know what you want to do, you can get suggestions on which libraries to use.
    What can this strange device be?
    When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
    It's got wires that vibrate and give music
    What can this thing be that I found?

    The physical location of all the libraries in Linux, not just Ubuntu, but in all the Distributions of Linux are in /usr/lib/ and below. The #include files are in /usr/include/ and below.

    As for the functions contained in the Linux C Standard Library, you should refer to a reference manual such as the The GNU C Library Reference Manual

    For any other functions in other Linux based C libraries, you should do a Google search.

    For plotting you could take a look at gnuplot and/or mathgl.
