man 查找函数的头文件_man查看库函数语法和所在头文件

每次想查某个C库函数的文件时，总是上网搜，然后在博客里看到。有是还得看好几篇，才找到。

这不是办法呀，window有MSDN，linux有MAN，怎么不去用呢？

1. 查看man(manual)手册说明，看，man既是动词，又是名词，它还是形容词(他好man哦)

$ man man

The table below shows the section numbers of the manual followed by the types of pages they contain.

1 Executable programs or shell commands

2 System calls (functions provided by the kernel)

3 Library calls (functions within program libraries)

4 Special files (usually found in /dev)

5 File formats and conventions eg /etc/passwd

6 Games

7 Miscellaneous (including macro packages and conventions), e.g. man(7), groff(7)

8 System administration commands (usually only for root)

9 Kernel routines [Non standard]

可以看到，第3条是显示库函数的手册。

2. 查看printf头文件

$ man 3 printf

查看格式化说明符，可以搜索specifier

The conversion specifier

A character that specifies the type of conversion to be applied. The conversion specifiers and their meanings are:

d, i The int argument is converted to signed decimal notation. The precision, if any, gives the minimum number of digits that must appear; if the converted value

requires fewer digits, it is padded on the left with zeros. The default precision is 1. When 0 is printed with an explicit precision 0, the output is empty.

o, u, x, X

The unsigned int argument is converted to unsigned octal (o), unsigned decimal (u), or unsigned hexadecimal (x and X) notation. The letters abcdef are used

for x conversions; the letters ABCDEF are used for X conversions. The precision, if any, gives the minimum number of digits that must appear; if the converted

value requires fewer digits, it is padded on the left with zeros. The default precision is 1. When 0 is printed with an explicit precision 0, the output is

empty.查看所在头文件，就在开头SYNOPSIS标题下

PRINTF(3) Linux Programmer's Manual PRINTF(3)

NAME

printf, fprintf, sprintf, snprintf, vprintf, vfprintf, vsprintf, vsnprintf - formatted output conversion

SYNOPSIS

#include

int printf(const char *format, ...);

int fprintf(FILE *stream, const char *format, ...);

如果直接：

$ man printf

则默认显示的是第1条：可执行程序或shell命令
