OpenCV - APIs Locations Aren't Document?

Question

Maybe I've been spoiled by MSDN, but I'm tearing my hair out looking for which DLLs the APIs are located in. It's driving me crazy to the point, I've started about to write some code that will walk the DLL export table so I can find the function!!

Like on MSDN, if I need a Windows function, eg, GetModuleHandle(). I go to the MSDN page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683199(v=vs.85).aspx

And it tells me exactly where the function resides:

Library - Kernel32.lib
DLL - Kernel32.dll

Now for OpenCV, I'm looking for which library and DLL the function cvCreateKalman() resides in. I simply cannot find it in their documentation. Am I missing something?

OpenCV docs don't have that info, unfortunately, but on Windows you can use dumpbin to list all the exported symbols of a DLL:

dumpbin /EXPORTS libopencv_core.dll

Which is pretty much what nm does for Linux.
