Symbols are shown if they are defined as functions, variables, or faces, or if they have nonempty property lists.... Both `point-at-bol' and `point-at-eol' are listed with `M-x apropos'. Using `C-u' with `apropos', or setting `apropos-do-all' to non-nil gives you info about *all* symbols, not just "functions, variables, or faces,..." But all functions are treated by `apropos' even without `C-u'. Do not confuse `C-h a', which is bound to command `apropos-command', with command `apropos'. There are other apropos commands as well: `C-h a apropos'.
