How about here: http://www.hh.se/stud/d98rolb/ansi/main.html Is this what you mean? It doesn't seem to be updated with the newest standard, though. That's not really a big deal, as it will be awhile before the C99 standard proliferates, anyway. I'm unaware of a single reference that would have information on non-standard functions from all the various sources. Except the man pages, I guess.
