Did you configure with --enable-docs?  Each function in the client API
has a manpage.  You can see the list of functions in pbs_ifl.h.  Also,
google for the PBS ERS (External Reference Specification).

Just take a look at the source for qsub.c.  Submitting a job isn't hard.
Just a pbs_connect() and a pbs_submit().

Using the PBS perl module (shameless plug, I'm the maintainer),
submitting a job is trivial:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use PBS;

$c=PBS::pbs_connect(PBS::pbs_default());
 $j=PBS::pbs_submit($c,
   {"Job_Name" => "test",
    "Resource_List.nodes" => "1",
    $PBS::ATTR_c => $PBS::CHECKPOINT_UNSPECIFIED,
    $PBS::ATTR_h => $PBS::NO_HOLD,
    $PBS::ATTR_j => $PBS::NO_JOIN,
    $PBS::ATTR_k=>$PBS::NO_KEEP,
    $PBS::ATTR_m=>$PBS::MAIL_AT_ABORT,
    $PBS::ATTR_p=>"0",
    $PBS::ATTR_r=>"TRUE"
   }, "/tmp/pbssubmit",undef,undef);
 print $j||PBS::pbs_geterrmsg($c),"\n";

Search the mailing list archive.  There are references to people working
on it.
