Google is a great search engine. When I search for “ftime linux”, the first search hit will be the man page for ftime which is exactly what I wanted. But sometimes I just want the whole manual in PDF format so that I can simply read about functions and scroll through it while I’m trying to decide how I want to implement a particular feature. Hence, having the particular OS’s (Operating System’s) C Runtime Library in a PDF is really great (no knocks on Google).
So, here are a bunch of downloadable C Runtime Libraries in PDF format:
| OS | Landing Page | Direct link to PDF |
| AIX | PDF format documentation for XL C/C++ for AIX, V16.1 | PDF direct link for XL C/C++ Language Reference |
| Linux | The GNU C Library | PDF direct link for GNU C Library Reference |
| IBM i (OS/400) | PDF file for ILE C/C++ Runtime Library Functions | PDF direct link for ILE C/C++ Runtime Library Functions |
| Windows | MSDN C Run-Time Library Reference | PDF direct link for C Runtime Library Reference |
| z/OS | z/OS XL C/C++ Runtime Library Reference | PDF direct link for z/OS XL C/C++ Runtime Library Reference |
For some strange reason, for AIX, IBM produces the a “Language Reference” but not a “Runtime Library Reference” but for IBM i (OS/400) and z/OS they have a proper “C/C++ Runtime Library Reference”. The same is true for the Linux. It is a “Language Reference” but not a “Runtime Library Reference”.
There you go. Enjoy your offline “C/C++ Runtime Library Reference” PDFs.
Note: If anyone has the real/correct link for either AIX or Linux’s “C/C++ Runtime Library Reference”, please send it to me and I will update the posting. Also, if you have a link to HP-UX, Solaris and/or macOS’s “C Runtime Library Reference”, let me know and I’ll post it.
