core.stdc.* contains the entire C standard library, for which there are plenty of references online. I guess people felt it a waste of time to write another one. :) Here's one, for instance: http://www.utas.edu.au/infosys/info/documentation/C/CStdLib.html (Each .h file corresponds to a module in core.stdc.) But I agree with you -- at the very least the function signatures should be listed in the D documentation, so it's easier to get the types right. Until that happens, you can look at them here: http://www.dsource.org/projects/druntime/browser/trunk/src/core/stdc -Lars
