In answer to this query, may I suggest 'Using C on the Unix System'. It
is one of the NutShell books and I have found it to be of great use when
trying to figure out what's what between System V and BSD. I will point
out that it mostly addresses the system level calls though, so if you
are looking for strchr == index, it's not going to help. However, signals,
i/o, and other such stuff is very well represented from both points of
view.
