Missing functions

The following functions are found in the header files, but not (yet) on the wiki. Some pages just need to be categorized, others don't exist yet and need to be made, and some might not belong on the wiki anyway (for example, none of the internal SDL_cstdlib functions have been listed here).

These functions are for internal use and not meant to be documented:
