At present the xts API has publicly available interfaces to the following functions (as defined in xtsAPI.h):

Callable from other R packages:
  SEXP xtsIsOrdered(SEXP x, SEXP increasing, SEXP strictly)
  SEXP xtsNaCheck(SEXP x, SEXP check)
  SEXP xtsTry(SEXP x)
  SEXP xtsRbind(SEXP x, SEXP y, SEXP dup)
  SEXP xtsCoredata(SEXP x)
  SEXP xtsLag(SEXP x, SEXP k, SEXP pad)

Internal use functions:
  SEXP isXts(SEXP x)
  void copy_xtsAttributes(SEXP x, SEXP y)
  void copy_xtsCoreAttributes(SEXP x, SEXP y)

Internal use macros:
  xts_ATTRIB(x)
  xts_COREATTRIB(x)
  GET_xtsIndex(x)
  SET_xtsIndex(x,value)
  GET_xtsIndexFormat(x)
  SET_xtsIndexFormat(x,value)
  GET_xtsCLASS(x)
  SET_xtsCLASS(x,value)

Internal use SYMBOLS:
  xts_IndexSymbol
  xts_ClassSymbol
  xts_IndexFormatSymbol

Callable from R:
  SEXP mergeXts(SEXP args)
  SEXP rbindXts(SEXP args)
  SEXP tryXts(SEXP x)
