As it shows prominently on the cover and says in the Preface, the
second edition covers ANSI C, which is not "K&R" C. K&R means the
language described in the first edition, which predated the C
standard.

"This Second Edition of The C Programming Language describes C as
defined by the ANSI standard"

(Also that PDF seems like a copyright violation).
