Well, instead of ranting,
An inadvisable epithet !
Maybe you never had the luxury of working when one could buy a slim
K&R,& it was all one needed. Now ISO sell standards, Not all free
download. For C I've only found enormous PDFs. Some downloads may
not be newest&/or might need logins or license or payment. Apache.org
set a better example of free unobstructed hypertexted access to all
versions of eg http.conf etc.
Where have you been living the past two decades? It's been a not so
recent development that small language cores (C, Java) are accompanied
by humongous amounts of documentation for standard libraries...
I understand the concerns about licensing, yet I see standards as
reference material, and the SUS is available free of charge, that's
about as much as I care for the current discussion.
Take the political parts up with the respective entities and/or possibly
the FreeBSD foundation.
Using Unix& C since '77,& '82, I 'appreciate' C is a heavily
evolved = bent language. Const as case in point: FreeBSD getopt
seems to conflict with K&R#2 so ...
If K&R #2 is supposed to be Kernighan & Ritchie, The C Programming
language, 2nd edition, then getopt() isn't even in my printed book's index.
It would be nice to download a new C standard for reference. Is
Yes.
the newest definition of C free public access ? Is there a URL
I never bothered to check. Check the final drafts that are getting
voted "becomes standard yes/no" on, they are usually free.
