I think the main reason is that the docs of stdlib are split between a number of "applications" (in OTP sense) and that there's no index of all the modules in one place (or I couldn't find one). So, starting here: https://www.erlang.org/docs/24/applications.html https://www.erlang.org/docs/24/applications.html you need to open at least erts, kernel, and stdlib in separate tabs, and remember to search in all 3 for even basic things. And that's just library reference - there's also manual for Erlang, OTP, and many of the applications. Fortunately, manual and reference of the same app are often interlinked.
