macOS Learning C Language on my Mac...

[AUFan]

Hi, does anyone know where to get the most essential commands often used in Terminal when one is learning C? Thanks a lot!

Google "Unix terminal commands" , "gcc commands" , or "OS X terminal commands" , or "Mac terminal commands" and you should come up with a litany of websites that cover all the UNIX commands in terminal. I found a pretty good document searching along those lines whose title escapes me, (it's on the home comp), that did a decent job of explaining the basic commands needed to compile C programs.

hoangluong, type man gcc in terminal. The man command gives you a manual for gcc in this case, but all standard c and unix commands have man pages.

That is another way to do it, but all man does is give you the list of commands and a little explanation. I've found you usually get better info if you google it and better explanations/examples which are useful when first starting out.

Thanks to AUfan and subsonic! I found your suggestions very useful. Is this link below basically the same thing?... I'm so new to programming, so I'm trying to start from the very group up...
