C is a general-purpose programming language with features economy of expression, modern flow control and data structures, and a rich set of operators. C is not a ‘‘very high level’’ language, nor a ‘‘big’’ one, and is not specialized to any particular area of application. C is a successor of B language which was introduced around the early 1970s. The language was formalized in 1988 by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI). The UNIX OS was totally written in C. Today C is the most widely used and popular System Programming Language. New Features C Language Reference Manual 007–0701–130 This revision of the C Language Reference Manual supports the 7.3 release of the MIPSpro compiler. See the cc(1) man page for changes or additions to command-line options.
This section provides detailed information on key C# language features and features accessible to C# through the .NET Framework.
Most of this section assumes that you already know something about C# and general programming concepts. If you are a complete beginner with programming or with C#, you might want to visit the Introduction to C# Tutorials or .NET In-Browser Tutorial, where no prior programming knowledge is required.
For information about specific keywords, operators and preprocessor directives, see C# Reference. For information about the C# Language Specification, see C# Language Specification.

I've studied C programming in college some years ago and have developed some medium applications back then (nothing serious). Now I have to develop some more 'advanced' C applications (involving POSIX threads and RPC), but right now I'm a little rusty even with the basics.
Can anyone recommend me good online C reference manuals? This may help me get in tune faster.

- GNU C tutorial (more than just a tutorial, quite a useful reference)
I got these all from a previous similar question on SO. I would like to credit the original posters, but unfortunately cannot seem to find that question.

For the very basic I found this reference card very useful. Doesn't help with more advanced functions but it can help get the rust off.

Don't forget man pages. If you are developing on any UNIX-derived platform (Linux, BSD, Cygwin) you can almost always do something like

It's not online, but hands down the best C reference is Harbison & Steele (yeah - it's better than K&R).
You can get the 4th edition for basically shipping (I don't know what improvements were made in the 5th ed.):

The best C reference by far is Kernighan and Ritchie's 'The C Programming Language' in it's dead tree form. It's compact and complete.
For an online reference, you might try Brian Kernighan's Programming in C Tutorial. Wondershare mobiletrans serial.

the C book is freely availableon-line. It is not really a referencemanual, but still a pretty goodresource. From the website:
C Programming Language Manual
This is the online version of The C Book, second edition by Mike Banahan, Declan Brady and Mark Doran, originally published by Addison Wesley in 1991. This version is made freely available.

I would recommend reading through the comp.lang.c FAQ at least once to help get the rust off. For reference material, you might want to grab a copy of the C Standard, the latest version of C99 with TC3 included is available for free here, for C89 the last draft version is available as a text file or you can pick up a copy of the The Annotated ANSI C Standard for a few bucks and have a hard copy of the actual standard (just ignore the 'annotations' on the right-hand pages). Since you are using POSIX you might want to become more familiar with the Single Unix Specification which includes the Standard C library as well as the POSIX functions, you can read/download SUSv3 at the Open Group (registration required but free and quick).

For an offline resource I would also recommend C: A Reference Manual (5th Edition) by Harbison & Steele, it thoroughly covers every language feature and standard function of C and documents differences between the various standard versions.
