You should find enough info on the following pages:

http://gdal.org/annotated.html
http://gdal.org/gdal_tutorial.html
http://gdal.org/gdal_datamodel.html
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingOnUnixWithNetBeansIDE
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/

Not in the same fashion of a MS Help or something like that but it pretty much covers everything. See that example here:

http://gdal.org/classGDALDataset.html#e077c53268d2272eebed10b891a05743

Good luck.
