    Question Been out of programming a while. . .but. . .

    Okay. . .as the title says, I've been out of programming for a while (a couple of years, at least). I know things have changed and all that, so I figured I'd ask. . .

    Where can I find documentation on all the C/C++ libs in Linux?? Are they in the man pages, or somewhere on the net?

    Another question: I know that my Borland compiler for DOS had a time lib included, but does Linux??

    If so, yay, I'll check it in documentation. If not, how can I check time then??

    Thanks.

    The man pages should have everything you need, there's a good online version at www.rt.com/man.

    >> If not, how can I check time then??
    With standard C you can use the stuff in time.h.
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <time.h>
    
    int main(void)
    {
      time_t now;
    
      if (time(&now) == -1)
      {
        fprintf(stderr, "No time available\n");
        return 1;
      }
    
      printf("%s", ctime(&now));
    
      return 0;
    }

    Thank you much, sir/ma'am.

    I'll check out the online documentation pages.

    And thanks for the snippet of code.

    Try www.tldp.org. They have man pages and some other linux related docs for download.
