All interfaces are Private unless marked otherwise.  All non-Private
interfaces should have a man page (though there are some that may not).
For libraries, look at the map files, as all their interfaces are
enumerated, and labeled as SUNWprivate or local (both Private), or
something else (Public).

All the Private interfaces in ON are now open source.  Just as you could
see many of them before by looking at header files or running nm on
libraries doesn't mean that they're any more usable now.
