I've been writing C for something like 25 years (and COBOL for the 15 
before that) and tend to collect books. That short list is the stuff I've 
settled on as the essentials for writing C in a *NIX environment. 

If your OS is something else you'd have other stuff instead of the Lion 
book and man pages: 

- for OS-9 v2 or v3 you'd have "OS-9 Insights" plus the "Operating 
System" and "Language" manuals (a pair of 50mm thick A5 ring binders that 
cover absolutely everything you'll ever need to know to write OS-9 
programs and drivers in C or assembler).

- for Windows, you'll probably end up with half a shelf of stuff which is 
likely to be incomplete, thanks to MS's fondness for undocumented 
features. Been there, done that, still got the pile of moldering books.
