Linux has online manual pages.  For example, if you want to learn about
the function brk(), simply type "man brk", and you will see the manual
pages of brk().  To learn more about the "man" command, type "man man".

No.  It's available as man pages, which is arguably easier to use.

The DJGPP info pages mark each function as ANSI C, POSIX, or DOS
function.  The Linux man page doesn't contain any DOS functions.  For
more accurate information, consult a book.
