From your example, it appears that you are searching for functions

That may be true, but other platforms (including Linux) deal in ugly
header file internals. The reason for it with Microsoft is that the
names beginning with underscores don't match the behavior of the
similarly-named POSIX names.
The MinGW port of GCC for Win32 defines aliases for most of these
ugly function names, with the leading underscore removed; I think
...and unlike Microsoft's headers, MinGW's are not designed to be
maintainable or readable - just random cut/paste excerpts from other
headers.
