0000-Administrator stands accused of saying: > > Why are there info files for the g++ library but no info files for the > plain old c library. Because the g++ library is a GNU library, whilst the C library is Berkeley-derived. The latter has an excellent collection of manpages. > I learned most of what I know about network > programming from the libc info files for linux --- either that or what is > some good docs for general app/net programming under freebsd In particular > the short and to the point examples of how the structures (and their > definitions) are used (all stuff that is in the gnu c library info files). The standard answer : "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment", and "Unix Network Programming", both by W. Richard Stevens.

(yes, I do know about man pages) FreeBSD does not use the GNU C library, and likely never will. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
