Summary: Fantastic C Reference - A Must
Review: The inside front cover and first page is an alphabetic index of all C functions that are included in the book. The back cover has a list by category: Disk Access, Buffered I/O, Graphics, etc. Each function description tells you what compilers use it, what the prototype is, detailed description of each argument, return value and usage, with examples.

Summary: One really good book
Review: This is a really good book. I am on my second copy. This first one walked off. I have been a programmer for over 10 years and though I don't alway use Microsoft C, I still refer to this book often. It is well organized, very concise and contains all the details. I have yet to find a discrepancy. It has quick indexes inside the front and back covers. Front is alphebetical, back is by subject. I've used it so often that I have a lot of the page numbers memorized. Memcpy is on page 249. The only thing else I can recommend about this book is to keep a close eye on it.
