  • The Register; By John Leyden (Posted by tracyanne on Dec 10, 2011 4:03 AM EDT)
  • Story Type: News Story

BitDefender released Carrier IQ Finder, an app that identifies the presence of the controversial mobile diagnostic tool, following Lookout's earlier release of a similar tool called Carrier IQ Detector.

Each has been available at no charge via the official Android Market since last Saturday (3 December).

C development on Linux - Functions - V.

The C standard library offers a plethora of functions for many usual tasks. Also there are lots of libraries for extra functionality, like GUI design (GTK+) or database interfacing (libpq). However, as you advance in the C programming world, you will soon find yourself repeating the same instructions in the same order over and over again and that will become time-consuming and inefficient.

Here's what you're gonna learn by reading this article, plus some useful tips that will make your life easier. Any suggestions or problems go to the forums, as before.
