 `libc-mode' uses:

 Libc mode is a minor mode for looking up documentation of C symbols
in the GNU C Library Reference Manual.

C-c s		libc-describe-symbol
C-c f		libc-describe-function
C-c v		libc-describe-variable
C-c t		libc-describe-type
C-c p		libc-describe-file

  It does an Info lookup of libc functions.  `cperl-mode' uses {C-c
C-h f} for the similar Info lookup function; it will find the perl
function at point in the TeXinfo.  cperl also binds {C-h f} to a
command that puts a simple help (like `eldoc' does in the echo area.)
I think that it's misbound, since I like to use C-h for
`backward-delete-char', and would prefer if `cperl' used C-c also.

 I think that `find-function-at*' ought to be on {C-c f} also.
Perhaps a prefix arg or {C-x 5 C-c f} for other frame, {C-x 4 C-c f}
for other window.

Another good binding would be someplace on the Help-key...  Perhaps
you could supplant {F1 F} with it, given a {C-x 5} prefix have it open
another frame, {C-x 4} another window, and put the FAQ on {M-x faq}.
