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
