[comp.lang.c] Book on .h files

chin@ankh.ankh.ftl.fl.us (Albert Chin) (08/10/90)

Where can I find a book that gives a detailed interpretation of the UNIX
<xxx.h> files? I'm porting some UNIX programs to my computer and would rather
write the interface files than re-write the program.

The interface files have to be coordinated very carefully with the libraries.
If you're going to be writing interface files, you're going to be writing
libraries too, and that is *not* a small project.
