man intro (3) comes close in OpenBSD (I did man -k libraries to find it) It just seems like if a function requires a special library that should be mentioned in the function's man page as well as the header file since it needs both to work. I guess it depends on how surprised you are that the function isn't built-in. round() at least is perfectly ordinary in Pascal/Delphi and in Java/Javascript it might be something like math.round().
