I am trying to create a simple program that does some basic

I'm having a terrible time finding documentation for even basic
stuff. (E.g. how do I iterate through a CERTCertList?)
The best documentation on these is the NSS source code. In particular
the source to the certutil command line utility.
cmd/certutil/certutil.c
Look for ListCerts on line 575.
It's also useful and instructive to search the code base for other
references to the same types, often you'll discover a pattern or see
some other tidbit that's useful.
The documentation on developer.mozilla.org seems *really*
incomplete.
I think many would agree.
Is there a better source somewhere that I'm missing?
Probably not, I think most developers using NSS learn it from studying
either the NSS source or source code that uses NSS.
At one time there was better doc online but I think some of it has
disappeared with various attempts to organize Mozilla developer doc.
