Visual Studio Manual Pages For C

Question

What do windows developers do when they need to look up the man page for a typical C function ? For example, say I am writing some C code in Visual Studio and I need to remember the order of arguments and exact behavior of strcpy. Note that I am not looking to duplicate my Linux/OS X experience, rather to discover the easiest, most common way to obtain this information for a typical Windows developer.

Thanks.

`strcpy(` Ctrl-shift-space, pops up Intellisense showing the declaration. — MSalters, Apr 25 '13 at 14:16

For that specific question, I would keep this alphabetical list of functions bookmarked. You can install this (and other VC++) documentation locally in VS as well.
