Need recommendation of C library reference book .

[PCHOME]

Hi!
I have a Waite Group Turbo C++ bilble(1990) ISBN 0-672-22742-8.
I like it because it gives me examples of most of C library I may use.
But that book is a little bit old. Does anyone know any newer C book
similar to that one? A newer C book which is a good reference guide
for C library?
It seems Waite Group does not have new version of that C/C++ bilble.

Thanks!

A C Reference Manual, Harbison and Steele, 5th Edition is simply the
best one you can buy.

I like P.J. Plauger's book "Standard C Library". It's from 1991,
perhaps there will be a 2nd edition with the new Standard and all.

How about the C standard? You really can't get a better reference than
that. It's available as a PDF or hardcopy from ANSI, and Wiley has
published it as well. In order of cost, the PDF is the best value, then
the Wiley book, then the official hardcopy.

And now you can get the 2005 draft C standard update.
Unfortunately no text version.
