I may be missing something here. This is all quite over my head.
But are we talking here about things like #include <stdio.h> and
so forth?

I think they're in the man pages in section 2:

man 2 intro
man stdio

That second one has things like: 
     fgets     get a line from a stream
     fileno    check and reset stream status
     fopen     stream open functions

...pages and pages of it.
