Searching for C stuff

One of the problems I've run in to (and not just with Google) is searching for C libraries. Every once in awhile, if I'm lucky, one will come up, but usually I'm swamped with links to C++ libraries and etc (which are not what I want). Putting quotes around the "C" help, but does anyone know of a better way to go about doing this?

I am telling you, this is the best course of action. The net has some C stuff scattered about but since it is not considered one of the "modern languages" it is often hard to find stuff. The best way is to find a nice book on standard compliant C programming and libraries and keep it for whenever you need something. Being that it is an older language, you can usually find the books a bit cheaper too. That would be my best advice.

Something like this wouldn't typically be listed in a reference book (at least not mine anyways).

If you simply focus on C, the desired result may not show up until several pages in, and most people don't check that far.

It just bugs me when I find what I'm looking for, but it's only usable in "C/C++".
