I don't KDevelop has that type of  help functionality. But, it does have a 
nice MAN page interface. You can get the man page for various 
functions/commands a couple of ways:

1) Help->Man page...
2) Right click on the function (e.g. printf) and select "Goto Manpage: 
printf".

Also, info pages may also provide some help.

In Konqueror, you can use the man:// protocol to see the man pages in nice 
format.

I think MAN pages are all that's available for standard functions. Myself, I 
tend to use Google/Man pages/Info pages/Source code documentation as my 
references.

Perhaps someone knows of a concise documentation that will work in KDevelop??
