APIs

With the additional information that she's looking to get the information
from the system she's on, then it is possible (though I would still use
the manual myself).  If optional library QSYSINC is installed, then
in the QSYSINC/H source file are C includes which list all available
*PGM APIs that are found in the System API Reference (plus a few that
are not in the manual).  One member (QLIEPTI) gives the offset of the
APIs into the System Entry Point Table (IBM allows C developers to use
the Entry Point Table directly via member QLIEPT); the other (QUSEPT)
provides very basic information on the paramters for the APIs (actually
the C function prototype).  For *SRVPGM functions, she could display
the *SRVPGMs found in *BNDDIR QSYS/QUSAPIBD and then examine the
procedure exports from each of the *SRVPGMs.  This would identify what
ILE function APIs are available on the system.

This should allow identification of close to all APIs available to that
release (that are in the System API Reference).
