Is that program documented anywhere ?
I did a search in the Infocenter and it showed nothing.

The program is part of the OS, owned by the Save\Restore [the SR]
component. Apparently the program provides an interface to a "service
tool" which for at least one invocation will dump the "Save Restore
Flight Recorder" information.
That the program is apparently a "service tool" is an inference from
documentation found with references; e.g. to include the following two
links:
"ST (Service Tools Action) journal entries" "Entry Type A=Service
record" "Service Tool type=SV for QSRSRV"

can be used to collect SR flight recorder data and other related data
for Save/Restore problems.
So the program is callable, being in the user domain, much like an
API. However that the program is provided only as a callable interface
for\as a service tool, the program does not have the requirements of an
actual API, neither for documentation nor compatibility issues; i.e. the
output is intended for use by the support organizations, not for
API-like use by users. Of course being callable, any authorized user
can benefit from the details provided by the output generated.
Anyhow, at least one invocation [PARM("DATA")] is documented in the
IBM Technote 524030472:
https://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas176acaa3ae327a2c5862575b3003ba613
The "METRICS" invocation is at least partially documented in the
third link below [and in many non-IBM references on the web, to the
function provided by that program], found via the previous links [and on
more current release, equivalent links]:
