yeah thats there but , like linux if you have to fetch details of any command u usally use the man command which completely tells you about the command ur looking for , thus everything can be searched under one hood.

Microsoft has online MSDN, or you can get it on DVD for a few hundred dollars. Otherwise, google is as good as it gets. Microsoft used to publish the functions in books that came with the compiler, but they stopped doing that about 15+ years ago when electronic books became popular.
You can, of course, always go to your local bookstore and buy a copy of the reference books.
