In some intermediate drafts of X3J11 C it could; not any more. (One of
the perils of knowing about non-final drafts is that some of what you
know eventually turns out to be wrong.)

Not unless you count K&R2. How can there be? The dpANS is still changing!
(There is a hope that it won't change much more, but that is a hope only.)
Once there is a real, true ANSI C standard, you can expect a flood of books
about it. Until then, the closest you can come is the latest X3J11 draft
(which isn't fun reading, let me tell you...).
