The API docs are in the header files. See at least these:
$prefix/include/lzma/base.h
$prefix/include/lzma/container.h
Those docs alone aren't nice when learning the basics. There are a few
example programs (more would be needed though) in
$prefix/share/doc/xz/examples which work as a kind of a tutorial. It
helps a little if you already are familiar with zlib's API.
If you cannot find the example programs on your system, download the
source package. The examples are in doc/examples and the API headers
with the API docs in src/liblzma/api.
