CCS is hard to find out descriptions of API

I am using CCS v4.2.

I want to look for a description of API or Function privided from CCS.

I can find out API declaration and go header, but can't find out that's description anywhere.

for example, "extern LgUns CLK_countspms(Void)"

It is declared in clk.h, What is LgUns? What is CLK_countspms()?

I don't understand Why TI makes CCS like this.

This way is very hard to use this program.

At least, Declaration, Description, Parameters...

    Hello,

    This documentation is not for the main CCS product. The CCS documentation is not in this format. It looks like documentation for some software library. How did you access this help?

    Thanks

    I just said example. that is NI Reference.

    I say I need easy references for developing project like NI reference or MS Visual studio reference.

    yes I used CCS v2 that had reference like above style, it was easy to look for description of API.

    But TI does not provide reference like above any more, Which kind of reference does TI provide?

    How can I find out description of API? just web surfing?

    Web surfing is not good solution, TI should suggest better  solution for using your product.

    pdf is OK, Where are they?

    C/C++ reference, NDK reference, RTDX reference etc....

    Older CCS versions had tighter integration with the various software packages provided by TI but these days it is pretty separate (as you noticed). The level of integration was poor in CCSv4. We are working to improve this experience. In later versions of CCS (like CCSV6), there is something called the TI Resource Explorer, which allows easy browsing of software packages to access examples, user's guides, tutorials, and yes... API documentation.

    Below is a screenshot of the resource explorer. I accessed the NDK API documentation from it. (you can click on the screenshot to make it bigger):

    Our goal is to have all TI software content easily available via the Resource Explorer.

    One note - you mentioned RTDX. RTDX support has been dropped. It was last supported with CCSv3.

    Thanks
