The vendors both keep documentation on the web.  See the FAQ for URLs.
Hint: on the Sybase site, choose "middleware" and "Open Client/Server".
"OpenClient" is Sybase's Orwellian name for their library.  

My take on the API debate: http://www.freetds.org/which_api.html.  No you
didn't miss it; I haven't integrated into the documentation.  One of these
days....

HTH.  :-)
