I am new to Unix and OS-X, aren't we all. There is this thing called the
Terminal, and sometimes, I can get "manual" pages on these really next C

these neat C routines, but, no where on my hard disk can I find those header
files.

The 'man' pages lie. Not always, but enough to make life interesting. The header files it mentions will be found, if they exist, based in "/usr/include". If I try 'man ioctl' it tells me to include <sys/ioctl.h> and, surprise, there is a "/usr/include/sys/ioctl.h".

(For example, type "man sha")

In your case, there is no "/usr/include/openssl" directory.

What's up with this stuff? Are all those neat routines which are described
in the Terminal's man pages accessible to Cocoa or not?

Sometimes, but don't feel too bad...the ones you're missing in Cocoa aren't available to anyone else either.
