Sorry, but this question is out-of-topic on the Buildroot mailing list.
I'll give some answers, but please use other lists or forums for this
type of questions.
However, you may want to have a look at the documentation of the C
library, that you can use in your applications. See
<http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/index.html> for the
reference documentation. For an introduction, I'd suggest to buy some
"Linux system programming" book.
Concerning the LED, if your LED is properly supported by the kernel, it
has a corresponding directory in sysfs.
Regards,
Thomas
