# C Programming

## Pointers

Here are some pointers about C programming on Plan 9.

### Beginners

[C Programming in Plan 9](http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/programming/c_programming_in_plan_9)

### General information

* 2c(1), 2l(1), 2a(1)
* `/sys/doc/comp.ps`
* `/sys/doc/compiler.ps`

### Style guides

* style(6)
* [Pike style](http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/pikestyle)
* [aiju style](http://aiju.de/misc/c-style)

## Notes

2c, 6c, 8c, etc all refer to the same compiler suite, but each
compiles for a different target architecture.  The compiler suite is
sometimes referred to as kencc.  The language itself is sometimes
referred to as 9c.

## ANSI C

If an ANSI C compiler is needed, use pcc.

* pcc(1)
* cpp(1)
* `/sys/doc/ape.ps`
