I used this book as a basic reference when I first had to actually write C
code.  It's a decent beginner reference if you already have some idea of
what you're doing, and it kinda shows how some basic data structures work,
but it's not a great reference for "the only book on my bookshelf" - once
can certainly learn from it, however.  I look in it when I forget syntax for
commands I don't use frequently...
