Go to
http://www.gnu.org/manual/glibc-2.2.5/libc.html and have a look at the
glibc manual. This is a great place to learn about a POSIX C library (it
also covers some non POSIX, BSD specific subjects (see the Berkeley Unix
section of the Introduction).
It is organized by topic with all the function calls listed and explained,
there is also a function index.
Once you know the function calls and their general purpose you can use the
man pages to get technical usage of functions quickly.
