The tools are pretty much the standard GCC, and then "avrdude".   It's all
open source.   But if you are going to do this your self why not simply use
a bare AVR chip?

Documentation of the libraries is very good.  First their is the Adruino
web site which is enough if you already had a preference for tools.  Then
their are dozens of books you can find.   Go to Amazon.com and search for
"Arduino".   Man Pages??? that is a command line thing from the previous
century, docs now days are in HTML
