Is C standard available somewhere on the web? I have only some kind of
"retold" standard in the form of book and it mixes C and C++ standards and
is focused mainly on libraries. It seems to me that ISO wants money to pay
for it, but pages of all standard organizations I browsed (ISO, ANSI, VESA
and many more) are hell, so it's possible I missed something.

Yes, it should.
Have a nice day.
