All Unix-like systems have their own additions to the "standard" C library, and so does the GNU C library. Most GNU tools also tend to have GNU-specific features: http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/echo.msg.html http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/gcc.html I don't have a list. For GlibC the man pages are good at explaining which functions and behaviors are GNU extensions. At least some of the command line tools' manuals do that too. I don't know if all of them do.
