Good advice: "Read the docs".
But a quicker answer to just a symbol or a few: use the toolchain.
I am beginning to think that somewhere along the line you stopped
using Eclipse with the CDT plug-in (for C/C++ coding) since it
has a window for this object/library relationship exploring.
(or you have that window closed.)
This really isn't a mailing list for "HowTo use gnu toolchain",
or "HowTo use Eclipse", but we have come this far. . . . .
Open your terminal window; enter:
whereis libldap
libldap: /usr/lib/libldap.a /usr/lib/libldap.so
Now enter:
nm /usr/lib/libldap.a
be rewarded with a listing 1,830 lines long of the symbols defined
and the external symbols referenced.
Of course, entering:
nm --help
will give you the command options, and
man nm
will give you all of the sicken details (the manual "man" command is
your friend on any *nix type system).
But for those readers interested in the "instant answer" -
The symbols this library provides (meaning this library is __before__
the users of these symbols in the link command),
Enter:
nm --defined /usr/lib/libldap.a
The symbols this library requires (meaning this library is __after__
the providers of these symbols in the link command),
Enter:
nm --undefined-only /usr/lib/libldap.a
Note:
The nm ("names") utility will do the same for dynamic libraries (*.so),
object files (*.o) along with the static libraries (*.a).

PS: The Eclipse CDT plug-in uses the toolchain to draw that explorer tree
window - I am not sure why your installation isn't doing the above for you.
