unix provides man pages for library functions. Does it provide a

Of course, the header files themselves can be looked into in
"include" directory but thats probably not the easiest way to
learn about them. about using grep, search the man pages that
contain entry for 'example.h', probably not a good idea
The C standard contains a complete description of the contents of
the standard C header files. The last draft of the standard is
available in text form as N869.txt. google for it.
The actual content of the headers on your system are probably not
too useful. They can be expected to contain non-standard things
used to get the proper standard effects ON YOUR system. The
results are often confusing and undocumented.
