C library documentation


Hi!

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?

Can you elaborate on " too terse & not in one place ", with an example of what you are missing and/or have difficulties to locate ?

well...

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!)

Is the "GNU libc documentation page" a web page of a local file ?

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.
