database of C standard library functions?

[Benjamin Rutt]

Does anyone have a database of C standard library functions? or even
clean header files with just the prototypes? when I look at my
system's header files, I see a bunch of "implementation details"
around the actual functions, such as:

extern int atoi (__const char *__nptr) __THROW __attribute_pure__;

which is not as clean as

int atoi(const char *nptr);

The reason I want this is I'm writing a programming tool that could
help make it easier to use the standard library by having knowledge of
all the functions within it, and their parameter names & types and
return values. actually, a database with the return type, function
name, and each parameter type already separated, would be preferred of
course, that way I don't have to parse C at all. But I guess parsing
clean prototypes isn't that hard, so I would gladly accept that as
well.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Here is a solid reference (C99):

The C-library: http://www.dinkumware.com/refxc.html

I once asked an expert COBOL programmer, how to
declare local variables in COBOL, the reply was:
"what is a local variable?"

The C standard has an appendix (in Standardese, an "annex") with
a prototype for each standard C function. In a parallel reply,
"pete" pointed to a C standard draft.
