Dev-C++ is just an IDE, not a compiler, so it can't have a manual for the
runtime library. It is using the MinGW compiler. So you should visit the
MinGW website for more information.
Parts of the runtime library is from GNU, and are documented there.
Parts of the runtime library is documented on MicroSoft's development
pages.
In general, you don't need to know. Google for a function name, and you
will find good documentation. The most important "incompatibility" is that
printf() is using the MS formatting parameters - this is important to know
if for example printing long long values.
Google for something you want to do, and you should find a lot of general
examples that are applicable. Note that MinGW is a port of a Unix compiler
to Windows and that a lot of things requires you to use the MS API
functions and not functions used for similar tasks in Linux.
