I can see the doxygen documentation of the codebase there (once I
enable javascript, be sure it is enabled for you too).
There you will find the documentation of the code base, which is a
useful reference when developing but will not help you getting
started.

For example, what is the range of values accepted by the "-ev" option? Right now, the only documentation I can find is from "libcamera-vid --help".

There's a short introduction here
https://libcamera.org/docs.html
but if I were you I would look into the guides in the source tree
https://git.libcamera.org/libcamera/libcamera.git/tree/Documentation/guides
(you can compile the documentation and have them in .html or .pdf
formats)
and have a look at
https://git.libcamera.org/libcamera/simple-cam.git/
which is an example application with a lot of comments
Thanks
