these are still under development, I'll send you some more materials
on a few of these presently.

posix_madvise ought to be "the POSIX specification"

assume readdir64_r will be very much like readdir_r in POSIX,
except that the arguments are "struct dirent64" instead of
"struct dirent".

along with pam_getenv you'll be looking for pam_putenv as well.
those two interfaces are likely to be documented very much like
this, if you wanted to get a start:
