Hi Steven, I did a quick research of these functions. Some of them
should be library APIs and some should be internal only
That is what I found:

These are used only in the library, going to hide them:
   tep_peek_char
   tep_buffer_init
   tep_get_input_buf_ptr
   tep_get_input_buf
   tep_read_token
   tep_free_token

These are used by perf and trace-cmd, going to add a man page for them:
   tep_print_printk
   tep_add_plugin_path
   tep_print_funcs

These are not used anywhere yet, but look like APIs, going to add a
man page for them:
  tep_set_test_filters
  tep_plugin_print_options

This one is already an API with man page, it is in the list by mistake
  tep_load_plugins_hook
