I downloaded a dos version with adequate docuumentation a few years back.

defined( MACRO ) can be used in logical expressions

if defined( FOO ) or BAR == 0

etc...

you have to ask for each function by name for detailed help

man 3 qsort
man 2 open

info is searchable  or  man -k KEYWORD  or  man -K KEYWORD  can
often locate the fetaure you're chasing.
