All communications through the API are done via named formal
structures, that you can find documented in APIGuide.pdf - the
quickest way to get it is to Google for it. If you download the full
server kit, you'll find the include directory contains ibase.h, which
has all the prototypes; and the examples directory has..um..examples.

Tip: try ibpp (www.ibpp.org) which has the entire API in C++ wrappers.
