I'd recommend picking up a copy of K&R (The C Programming Language, by
Kernighan and Ritchie), and working your way through it. It includes a
summary of the C standard library at the back - I assume that's what you
mean when ask for an "API for C".

Having said that, no wonder you're lost if you're trying to learn all
that at once! What you ought to do is learn some basic C, enough to get
comfortable, then start looking into Objective-C/Cocoa if that's what
you want to use. The Cocoa documentation is excellent, and if you've
installed the Developer Tools then you already have a reasonable book on
Objective-C and OOP on your computer, here:

<file:///Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/ObjectiveC/>

One thing at a time, eh?

Cheers,
-Matt
