Most of the functions that end in "-p" or just "p" are only functions,
they are not commands and can't be run interactively. That is, they
show up when you do C-h f but not when you do M-x. They're for elisp
use.
I think a handful can but I can't remember which ones.
AFAIK Emacs has always worked this way regarding these functions.
