hello.
I've been trying to understand the source code for linux which is all
written in c.
But i am no table to figure out the header files included in that
code.
Can anyone please tell me where can i get all references to those
header files ( eg. mm.h, linux.h etc.).
I downloaded this source from http://kernel.org.
TIA

It's all there in the tarball, try looking under Documentation, failing
that, 'use the source...'.

They're all there. For example, 'mm.h' is in the include/linux
directory. There is 'linux.h'.

I can tell you where to find them. The header files are found in the directories
in the include/* part of the source code tree, or they are in the directory of
the file.

If you want to know how to interpret them - I have been a kernel developer since
2.5.15 (yes that really is a 5 in the middle), and I still do not understand
very much of those header files.

In this case, the answer might more be "learn find".
