Just check out some of the header files, highlights are:

lib/core/builder.h
lib/core/hashtree.h
firewall/esp_prot_api.h
firewall/user_ipsec_sadb.h (hip_sadb_add() has 19 params!!)
hipd/keymat.h
hipd/user_ipsec_hipd_msg.h
hipd/user_ipsec_sadb_api.h

These are just the public functions, there are some really scary static
ones as well...
