That's mostly true, but there are frequently new things in the headers. Also, there's occasionally documentation that is not in headerdoc form. (See AudioToolbox/AudioFile.h for an example.)

(I wish Apple could switch to doxygen, but it doesn't yet support Objective-C. I took a look at adding ObjC support, but it's a huge amount of work since the parser for all of doxygen's supported languages is currently mixed into a single flex source file.)

Chris, I don't understand this advice to "read the header files." Since headerDoc parses them to generate the html documentation, why is there any useful information in the headers that's not in the docs? If the answer is headerDoc's limitations, then I would say they should be using doxygen. Otherwise, the only explanation I can think of is laziness/sloppiness on the part of the developers for not tagging all useful info for headerDoc to pick up.

BTW, "man strtok" works for me (see below). Stanko, did you install the Developer's Tools? I would guess that stuff like "man strtok" wouldn't be of much use to the average Mac user.
% man strtok
STRTOK(3) System Library Functions Manual STRTOK(3)

NAME
strtok, strtok_r - string tokens
