What you are looking for is called "American National Standard for Information
Systems - Programming Language - C".  Also known as ANSI X3.159-1989.  You
can obtain a copy for (I believe) $56.00 from

		American National Standards Institute
		1430 Broadway
		New York, New York 10018
		212-642-4900
		212-302-1286 (fax)
