The documentation should mostly correspond to the current version of the kernel. Another excellent piece of documentation is Amit Singh's book on OS X, which is quite dated, but still remains highly relevant. XNU directory structure reflects the components of the kernel. For example, osfmk/ is the mach part, and bsd/ is the BSD part. The above book also maps functionality of the kernel to its components.

Hey everyone,
I am an undergrad studying Operating Systems. We have been asked to do a case study on any operating system of our choice. Detailing how it handles process scheduling, memory management, disk scheduling etc. I wanted to do mine on macOS, and I found this guide online: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/...
It is perfect for my needs, but it appears to have last been updated in 2013. So I was wondering, 1) Is there a more recent version of this guide? 2) Or failing that, is there some way to find what substantive changes have been made to the kernel since 2013?
Also, I found the source code for Darwin on Github, however, I have very little experience navigating such a huge database, any tips on how to get started?
Thank you for your time. Pranav _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
