OT: c++ reference documentations

[Haim Ashkenazi]

Hi

I've just picked up a c++ book and started to learn (I only have experience in
perl). I was wondering if there are info/man pages (or any other electronic
documentation) that I can use as a reference (at least for the standard
library). if I want for example to find the syntax of "string.rfind..." I
have to go back to the book. I've tried the libstdc++ html docs, but I
coudn't find a syntax reference there, also I couldn't find a complete set of
man/info pages to show that (there are some man pages but not to all
functions).

am I missing something?

Bye

Copyright says it's from 1994. That says about all. It only covers STL (no
strings!), nothing else. And even that info is outdated.

Might be a bit dry...


I'm using Dinkumware's reference mostly. That is, I'm abusing the free
preview version:

Also, there's the Debian package "stl-manual", which seems to be a more
recent edition of SGI's docs. I don't have any first-hand experience with
it, but it looks good.
