cplusplus.com C library reference download

Hi,

I would like to ask about cplusplus.com C library reference download.

Comparing with MSDN, it is simpler and more direct; comparing with the 1000 page The GNU C Library Reference Manual, it is more concise and have easy-to-follow example. It is also well-formatted and quite readable.

I feel it also better than other book resources including: (1) Appendix B - Standard Library of [Kernighan & Ritchie, The C Programming Language (2nd Edition)] (2) [P.J. Plauger, The Standard C Library]. It has become indispensable for me after a few days’ use.

However, when offline I have on access to the site and have to switch to MSDN help or others, which are usually more verbose and not as essential. I wish to get a PDF version, or preferably.chm Windows help format, of the reference, is it available?

use wget to get an offline html version, and then somehow convert that one to pdf.

hanst99,

I am not a Linux user. Is there an equivalent Windows program that does the same work?

wget isn't only available on linux - the same applies for many other GNU tools as well.

¿Do you know how to convert it to pdf?

This is wonderful. Between PDF and .chm, .chm seems better due to its "Index" search ability. Do you know of any way to convert it to .chm help file?
