one book i have learned a lot from is "The Standard C Library" by P.J.
Plauger. he also has one called "The (Draft) Standard C++ Library". i
don't know about the latter, but the former was most useful to me in
terms of laying out what is formally expected of each function, what are
the potential issues etc.

the reason i did not say anything about K&R is because i never read it.
