I'm a newbie in Linux programming. I found that the way to view the list of system calls in Linux via command-line is:

man syscalls

But now I want to view the list of c library functions, how can I do that? Which command will help me list the c library functions? And another question, where are system calls and c library functions manual pages located? Thank you.

There is an offline documentation browser that I have found helpful, called Zeal, that is similar to Dash.

Other options:

whereis glibc

or

dpkg -L *libc*

And open the files in a text editor.

To recursively search inside files for string:

grep -R "some string" /path/to/includes

Some paths to consider:

/usr/local/include

/usr/target/include

/usr/include

Other options may include:

Cscope

Ctags
