Not much else to say, is there an in-print alternative I can suggest to friends?
Essential C Reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This reference book is essential to me for C programming. It lists all the C functions with brief summaries of usage. It's so much easier to use than a huge text book for someone that knows the basics of C programming. Not for the novice, but wonderful for the C programmer. I wish there was one of these for every language. I have to buy another one since I lost mine and I can't do without it!
Handily categorized with meaty summations.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Most C functions are grouped together, and have real summations on their use, not just a list of arguments for a function call. Worst thing that happened was I lost mine! My entire office was lost without it. Some functions are explained better here than in any textbook I have seen.
Extremely handy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
My brain is too small to keep all the details of the C language readily accessible. When I'm writing a C program, I keep this little book next to my computer so I can look up the details about the language that I very well might forget the next day. I think of this book in much the same way I think of an English dictionary. It is extremely handy as a reference, but you already need to know how to use the language. This book is not for the C novice.
