I was wondering what the naming scheme for files in /usr/src/sys/kern was
:). There seem to be several sorts of files there--
bus_if.m device_.m imgact_*.c
inflate.c init_*.c kern_*.c
link_*.c make*.{pl,sh} md5c.c
subr_*.c sys_*.c syscalls.*
sysv_*.c tty.c tty_*.c
uipc_*.c vfs_*.c vnode_if.{sh,src}
It's not clear to me, when thinking of introducing a new file (say, for
auditing support :), what I should name it. Would it be kern_audit.c or
sys_audit.c? Or, if it is POSIX.1e, would it go into a
/usr/src/sys/posix1e directory as the posix4 realtime stuff did (assuming
that support for additional features from that posix draft were going to
be forthcoming)? Given the past discussion of how to ]fail to]
restructure the source tree, I assume this issue is non-trivial :).
style(9) doesn't appear to provide any pointers.
