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). > Example the 'pcic' module is a private interface.

A simple list might be helpful. 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.
