Default Xcode intellisense meaning of letters in colored boxes like f,T,C,M,P,C,K,# etc

Recently, I have started using Xcode 4 for developing iOS apps.

In Xcode intellisense's autocomplete box, there are some letters in colored boxes before every suggestion. I know that they represent the property of the word we are typing like f,T,C,M,P,C,K,# etc. enter image description here

Quote:
Is there some kind of glossary available to find their quick meanings?
Meanings of f,C,T,# are understandable (function, class etc) but there are many others which are not very intuitive.

Please suggest. I would be grateful for all your answers.

IntelliSense is Microsoft's implementation of code completion, I'm not sure if there's a specific name for it in Xcode.

There's a huge guide on Xcode in the docs that probably covers those icons: Loading…

They are pretty self explanatory, E is for enum, T is a typedef, f a C function, # define, C a class and so on. But there's loads of them in the data modeler, call stack and Debug navigator and so on.

EDIT: I think the code completion popup has a quick help button (far right next to each item), try clicking or mouse over it and see the description/help, the type corresponding to the icon might be there.
