Not necessarily, foo can also just be an ordinary function. That was my point.

What is it supposed to tell me?

ISO/IEC 9899 is the name of the ISO document describing the C programming language. The current edition is, I think the 2023 document aka C23.

You can read a "draft" of that document here: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3220.pdf

[If you've ever been under the impression that "real" people use the actual ISO text, disabuse yourself of that notion, ISO takes ages to turn the same exact words into an official branded document, then charges $$$ for a PDF, ain't nobody got time or money for that]

I can't tell you what they intended by TC3. It might be a typo or it might be some way to refer to a specific draft or a section within that draft. I doubt this particular section changes frequently so I wouldn't worry about it.
