I have an account in our college Sun server
The operating system is SunOS 5.8 (Solaris 8 ?)
I have to write some programs in C, but I am unable to find the C library documentation in one place ... the information in the man pages are too terse & not in one place
Currently i am referring to the GNU libc documentation on the GNU site
but, the compiler/library on our system is not GNU ... will that make any difference?
if so, where can I get the documentation relevant to our system?
if I want to tokenize a string, I need to search for the appropriate function in google & then read the man-page ... i would prefer the documentation at one place, like the GNU libc documentation page
oops! never mind the 'terse' part --- I didn't read the man-page fully (damn!)
Distribution: Solaris 11.4, Oracle Linux, Mint, Debian/WSL

Rep:
Most of what I see on this page should be valid for Solaris 8 libc.
I guess the simpler would be for you to still reference this gnu libc documentation, and check on the Solaris manual page should compilation error occurs.
