Note that N869 is a draft and is not identical to the final spec.  But
it's indeed what I usually turn to since it's close enough for most
things and the plaintext is easier to navigate than the PDF.

A downloadable PDF of the final version can be bought from ANSI for $18.

True, the Standard itself can be difficult to read.  It does have the
advantage of being more authoritative, and covering all of the weird
little corner cases that C allows.  For example does the CPL say much
about trap representations and padding bits?
