You already have it:" it's libc.info in your info sundirectory.  For 
example, to read the documentation of _truename, you type this from the 
DOS prompt:

	info libc alpha _truename

This assumes that you have the GNU Texinfo package installed (that's 
where info.exe comes from).  If not, download and install 
v2gnu/txi312b.zip from your favorite SimTel.NET mirror.

And please read chapter 5 of the DJGPP FAQ list, it explains how to read 
the documentation supplied with the various DJGPP packages.  You will be 
lost without the docs.

This is not a good idea.  It is better to pass a different buffer as the 
second argument, then replace argv[i], like this:

	char true_path[FILENAME_MAX];
	...
	argv[i] = _truename (argv[i], true_path);
