Summary

This is the first comprehensive treatment of ANSI and ISO standards for the C Library. Written by a world renowned author on the C programming language and the head of the ANSI committee that standardized the C Library, this new guide contains the complete code of the Standard C Library and includes practical advice on using all 15 headers. All C programmers will benefit from the book's focus on the concepts, design issues, and trade-offs associated with library building; using this book, programmers will make the best use of the C Library and will learn to build programs with maximum portability and reusability.

features coverage of: function use, declarations, name space caveats, macro overrides, implementation specifics, and testing methods.
highlights internationalization and the writing of locale-independent programs — topics with which even the most experienced C programmers are often not familiar.
contains code which has been successfully compiled with C compilers from Borland, Saber, SUN, UNIX, and VAX UNIX.
will prove of great interest to C programmers working in a wide range of operating system environments.
