Hi Robru and welcome to snaps!

- The Interfaces reference
<http://snapcraft.io/docs/reference/interfaces> on snapcraft.io will
give you the complete list of what's available in xenial-update's snapd.

- If you are building the latest snapd or using a daily version: the
reference is on GitHub
https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/master/docs/interfaces.md

Cheers,

David
