daemon and killproc

In the sysvinit scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ on redhat systems, they often
use daemon to start a process in the background, and killproc to terminate
it. I'm puzzled, however, because I could find no such command in the
root's path, and I can find no documentation for these commands, and they
are not documented in man init or as a shell builtin.
Does anybody know how they work? or where I can find documentation on
them? (other than going out to buy a redhat manual...)
