Apart from the fact that you're not particularly posting this to an
appropriate mailinglist at all... i suggest you get your hands on
"Kernighan & Ritchie: The C programming Language" (aka K&R C)

Brian W Kernighan and Dennis M Ritchie are/were the developers of the C
language and this book is probably a must-have for anyone serious about
the language. It's a good, concise guide to how C works and what makes it
tick. It has a few appendices explaining basic library functions, etc.

Then there's another book called "A book about C" (A B C).. dunno the
author but it pops up often enough to be worth a mention here.

Ofcourse, once you understand C, it becomes important to understand your
OS's library functions and system-calls before you get anywhere ;)
