None exist online as far as I know, but Timo would know for sure.  The
code is documented, so it is easy to generate API documentation.  I
placed the latest generated HTML online at:

http://josefsson.org/gnutls/manual/opencdk/opencdk-api.html

Generating it using Doxygen or GTK-DOC instead, to yield nicer
formatting etc, shouldn't be too hard.

GnuTLS uses OpenCDK and Nikos has been quite active in working on it
recently, to make it implement the latest OpenPGP-in-TLS RFC.

Right.
