Simply: by writing a test program. If you can't reproduce the targeted behaviour by a test, then it's very unlikely that there is an application that depends on that. Otherwise your efforts are useless.
But this works only for functions that are undeocumented. How can you write a test program for a function that is nowhere documented? You wouldn even know about it untill a programm breaks because it requires it and then you have to do some reverese engineering for that. At least in the application to determine what it expects from the function.
