How to browse Std C++ classes in linux

[Skip Coombe]

How do folks coding C++ browse the std C++ classes?
I am aware of the excellent www.sgi.com/tech/stl for
the STL classes, but how about iostream?

I am using gcc version 3.2.2.

How do folks coding C++ browse the std C++ classes?

I used to use http://dinkumware.com/manuals/reader.aspx?lib=cpp, but
it was so glorious that I ended up buying a copy (two if you count the
paper and electronic versions separately) and now do not need Internet
access to use it. Of course, there are times when I just have to look
at my copy of the Standard itself, which isn't nearly as hard as you
might think (usually).

I am using gcc version 3.2.2.

If you want documentation of the actual library used by G++ (as of
version 3.4), go to http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/libstdc++-html-USERS-3.4/index.html.
It is also supposed to be installed on your computer (as that page
says), which might be what you have to use if you want the
documentation for your 3.2.2 version instead of the newer 3.4
(although I doubt much has changed). I would recommend sticking with
vendor neutral documentation, as I do, unless they begin sticking
Micro$oft crap into the C++ Standard, in which case I would recommend
that you join me in burning my copy of the Standard.

Dear Skip,

How do folks coding C++ browse the std C++ classes?
I am aware of the excellent www.sgi.com/tech/stl for
the STL classes, but how about iostream?

I am using gcc version 3.2.2.

For my gcc on linux "info -f iostream" works fine. Also useful is
"info -f libg++".

Best,
Chris

I find the following semi-tutorial, semi-reference guide to be excellent:

ftp://ftp.borland.com/pub/bcppbuilder/techpubs/bcb5/b5scl.zip

(It's a compiled HTML-help file (.CHM)). I haven't encountered any
borland-specific stuff in it. Wherever it has gaps, you can fill
them in from the Dinkumware reference.
