R.dll Reference Guide?

What does 'available' mean? From that manual:

We can classify the entry points as

API
     Entry points which are documented in this manual and declared in an 
installed header file. These can be used in distributed packages and 
will only be changed after deprecation.

public
     Entry points declared in an installed header file that are exported 
on all R platforms but are not documented and subject to change without 
notice.

private
     Entry points that are used when building R and exported on all R 
platforms but are not declared in the installed header files. Do not use 
these in distributed code.

hidden
     Entry points that are where possible (Windows and some modern 
Unix-alike compilers/loaders when using R as a shared library) not exported.

So everything which we intend to be documented is documented in that 
manual, and it is the 'reference guide'.
