This is not entirely true! Embacardo (who owns the Delphi brand now) 
have placed
the entire API documentation on their website here:

http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/en/Main_Page

And as I have understood the Lazarus project, a major aim is to be Dephi 
compatible as
much as possible (I this goes for FreePascal as well). So most of this 
documentation
should fit the general need.

I personally use the online API documentation for RTL, FCL and LCL which 
can be
found here:
