Microsoft Visual C++ Run-Time Library Reference 
Covers Version I of the Standard and Professional Editions

The MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ RUN-TIME LIBRARY REFERENCE is a superb one-stop
resource for the more than 550 ready-to-use functions and macros designed
for use in Microsoft C and C++ programs. The run-time library has made the
Microsoft C compiler the first choice for corporate and commercial
developers.

Written by the Languages Division of Microsoft Corporation to be included
in the Microsoft Visual C++ package and published separately by Microsoft
Press, this valuable reference is an up-to-date complement to the Visual
C++ online help system. The core of the book details the complete run-time
library--all the routines for managing input and output, allocating
storage, controlling processes, displaying graphics, and calling system
services. The entry for each routine gives a brief description and
includes all the critical information on:

* Syntax and prototype
* Necessary include files
* Arguments and return values
* Cross-references to related functions
* Compatibility with current ANSI, UNIX MS-DOS and 
  Microsoft Windows systems
* Sample programs and output

The MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ RUN-TIME LIBRARY REFERENCE is divided into two
main sections. Part 1 introduces the Microsoft run-time library and
provides general rules for using the library. One chapter lists the
library routines by category so that a programmer can quickly find a
routine for a particular task without knowing the name of the appropriate
function or macro. Another chapter describes global variables and standard
types.

Part 2 describes the library routines in alphabetic order. After they
become familiar with the Visual C++ library rules and procedures, readers
will probably refer to this part most often. A comprehensive index helps
Microsoft Visual C++ programmers quickly find information on any topic in
the book.
