It discusses various aspects of C in more detail, although the emphasis is on examples of complete programs, rather than isolated fragments.
It deals with basic data types, operators and expressions.
Covers functions and program structure, external variables, scope rules, multiple source files, and also touches on the preprocessor.
It also describes an interface between C programs and the UNIX operating system, concentrating on input/output, the file system, and storage allocation.
