When I read a line like:
kern_return_t kret = host_statistics (mach_host_self(),
how can I find the documentation?
ManOpen tells me that there is no man page.
AppKiDo does an excellent job for Foundation, AppKit etc. But of
course nothing here.
What can I do now?
Download xnu 795.x.x and read the source? Ok, this is not THE solution
but it can help.
First: how do I know, given some function, what source I have to
download from where?
And even if I would be able to download several gigabytes of code
there still remains the question: how to find a specific function in
this mass of data?
29.8 MB is not several gygabtes.
For the search solution, it depends if you'd rather spend more times on
writing questions than just cding to the xnu directory and perform
queries such as:
grep host_statistics *
grep host_statistics */*
At one point you will see the definition.
There's also some kind of indexing solution (which I never remember)
which allows to find the source file for a function. Just ask the
question on the darwin-dev mailing list and I'm pretty sure, they will
have the answer.
