On linux and BSD systems (perhaps other Unices as well), system calls are documented in section 2 and library functions in section 3 of the manual pages.
Builtins typically refer to shell functionality (echo, printf, time, cd, ...) which is often also available through standalone executables. Shell builtins should be documented in your shell's manual.
As for the exec functions with a p in their name, they are not builtins. Your man search probably returned information on the exec shell builtin. For the exec*() functions' documentation, see
exec(3) - Linux manual page
Note that all of those are C library functions which wrap the execve system call. This is also the case for the *BSD implementations.
