These don't really exist unfortunately. The APIs to the BIND9 library
functions are largely documented by the #include files. I had been
working on a BIND9 Programmer's Manual but got diverted into other
things.

That's right. The lwres library is for making calls to the lightweight
resolver daemon.

I don't understand why you're looking for an API (=> writing code?) to
make Dynamic DNS requests. Is there some reason why you can't just use
the nsupdate program? It has a man page in doc/man/bin.
