If you're going to get started with ANSI C, you can't go wrong with looking
at Kernighan & Ritchie's "The C Programming Language" 2nd ed (NB: 1st ed
is pre-ANSI and generally useful as a bookshelf decoration indicating how
long you've been hacking, but is of little practical value).  There are a number
of other good books on the subject, but none are quite so elegant (short AND
complete).  It's not a tutorial, though.  I've heard good things about
older versions
of The Waite Group's "C Primer Plus", and newer versions may still be good
choices if you need more hand-holding.

However, you're talking about g_stuff, which makes me think you're using glib
or gtk or gnome (or all three).  That isn't part of the C language
itself, but rather
libraries that have been written for you to interface with.  I'd
suggest looking for
documentation at www.gnome.org.

In any case, welcome to C!
