I own a copy of the first edition of K&R, but I lost track of it the
last time I moved, so I can't confirm those. In the current standard,
'static' has three meanings:

"If the declaration of a file scope identifier for an object or a
function contains the storage class specifier static, the identifier has
internal linkage." (6.2.2p3)

I'd expect that to correspond to the description on pages 28 and 191.

"An object whose identifier is declared ... with the storage-class
specifier static, has static storage duration." 6.2.4p3

I'd expect that both of these meanings would be explained (and
distinguished?) on page 80.

Could you compare those  pages with the cited sections of the C standard?

The following use of "static" is new in C99, and can only occur in the
leading dimension of a function parameter declared as an array:
"If the keyword static also appears within the [ and ] of the array type
derivation, then for each call to the function, the value of the
corresponding actual argument shall provide access to the first element
of an array with at least as many elements as specified by the size
expression." 6.7.6.3p7

This obviously should have no counterpart in K&R C.
