AFAIK, all libc functions have man pages in section 3 of the man pages.
They should be in /usr/man/man3. If you know the name of a function,
"man FUNCTION" (e.g. "man strstr") will work and you can also look for
keywords using "apropos KEYWORD" (if your man pages database is
up-to-date).

As an aside: Those man pages seem to exist on almost all Unices - I've
seen them under SunOS, Solaris and HP-UX as well.

HTH,

Thomas
