Found with a quick google search. Of course, what functions you have
available would depend on what libraries you include.

Perhaps I didn't clarify my situation. I have no access to the internet
on my Linux partition; at present, if I want to look up man pages for a
function, I have to reboot into Windows, dial up, google "man sscanf",
save the page, then reboot into Linux.

Download the PDF. Do your research about finding out how to mount a windows
partition. Beyond that, your configuration is not my problem.

I just want to have these
available in man. Also, I don't need to know about gcc options, just
the C functions themselves (as I can on the systems at my university).
Thanks :)

Guess you missed the part about "Of course, what functions you have
available would depend on what libraries you include."

Libraries are not necessarily part of "C". C only requires:

From
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/developertools/gcc-3.3/gcc/Standards.html#Standards

"The ISO C standard defines (in clause 4) two classes of conforming
implementation. A conforming hosted implementation supports the whole
standard including all the library facilities; a conforming freestanding
implementation is only required to provide certain library facilities:
those in <float.h>, <limits.h>, <stdarg.h>, and <stddef.h>; since AMD1,
also those in <iso646.h>; and in C99, also those in <stdbool.h> and
<stdint.h>. In addition, complex types, added in C99, are not required for
freestanding implementations."

Libraries can be created by the programmer and in the OSS world there are
MANY available that are not part of "C".

For glib, have a go at:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/glib/

(how you access it is not my problem)

As far as I know, there is no man page that will give you a function list.
The man page for gcc gives a list of command line options and that alone is
over 10,000 lines.
