We : don't need the source, just the (credible, authoritive) info on Kernel : functions and their return values. No such animal exists. Sun has many levels of API commitment from the "gotta have it won't change" to the "put in on the whim of a developer to make some system utility easier to code, but will be gutted if the wind changes". The former are documented well in the man pages for man(2), while the latter are generally undocumented.
