ex.
man printf

or
apropos printing
apropos print
etc..

#include <sys/socket.h>

Many of these do *accompany* and *describe* libraries, but the libraries
themselves are in /usr/lib for the most part, and you must mention them in
the command line when you run the compiler in order to use them.  See the man
page for your compiler for more details.

Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment
W. Richard Stevens
isbn: 0-201-56317-7

A bit expensive though. Another I recommend is ;

Beginning Linux Programming
Wrox Press
isbn: 1-874416-68-0

A gentler introduction. Very well done.

Check Amazon etc.

HTH.

Bah.  I'm not usually one to bag a book after one mistake, but...
Their stuff on termios had me linking against lib[n]curses so I
because I was #include-ing <termios.h>.

%A gentler introduction. Very well done.

Very chatty and informative, I'll concede.  Just not accurate in
some cases.

The C language - K&R
Advanced programming in the UNIX enviroment - R.Stevens
UNIX network programming vol 1 Networking APIs - R.Stevens
UNIX network programming vol 2 InterProcess Communication - R.Stevens

The first one is especialy good for newbies to C,
the second is more UNIX specific, and the other cover all
you need to know about TCP/IP programming.

These books served me really well in my early days, and are still
useful. The Stevens books are a great step after this.? Both of
those books have MUST-READ introductions.

Incidentally, my ISBNs for those books are 0-13-110362-8 and
0-937175-73-0.

Cheers,
Wes

I believe he also has an updated C++ version.  It was invaluable to me
when I was learning C.

First. get a copy of Kernigan and Ritchie "C programming language" and
learn from there difference between _library_ and .h file.

I'm seriously advicing this book as starter's guide.

It would give you some start. Second book can be
Keringan and Pike "The Unix programming system"

These two books are enough for writing command-line utilities which deal
with text files.

Then learn how to use man command. This would give you ncurses at least.
Meanwhile collect all FAQs floating
around this newsgroup. Socket FAQ is enough for simple network
programming and if you don't want to write really advanced ones, lets
you save some $$ which you otherwise should spend on some
Stevens books.

Manual which comes with GNU C and GNU Libc is also excellent source of
information. If you have access to really fast printer, format both
(they come in Texinfo format, so you'll need TeX) and print them out.
It would give you about 900 pages of bedtime reading.
Or you can just read them online in Emacs or info browser.

As for graphics, there is excellent O'Reilly series for X window.
But I reccomend you against writing X programs on C. At least for a
while. Tcl/Tk is so much simplier.
