If you have libFOO.a , try "nm -a libFOO.a grep -v 'U ' more" to see a listing of all the functions in libFOO. Whether the functions in libFOO have man pages available is entirely up in the air. In fact, it'd probably be better to Google for "FOO tutorial" or "libFOO tutorial" to learn how to use libFOO.
AOL on Dan E.'s "theoretical" thing. Start from specifics, then work up. Design things top-down, *build* things bottom-up.
GTK+ is probably the best choice. You could use Qt if you were writing in C++. Lesstif could be usable, but you don't want to use Xt-Athena unless you're a masochist or you want to make your users hate you. Remember, GTK+ functions don't have man pages, but there's a fairly decent GTK+ tutorial available at gtk.org .
Not necessarily. Actually, if you want to use libFOO, you might have better luck looking for a program that uses libFOO and studying its source code. Y'know, get some practical experience with something that's out there and already works, instead of looking for docs that might be several minor revisions out of date.
Obviously, there are general libraries that see a lot of use and the documentation is easy to find. But, a library is just a collection of useful...
