This is a linux programming question and not exactly a FC question, but please
bear with me.
I am trying to bridge the gap in my understanding in programming in FC, and
I'll use usb as an example by expressing what I know and asking for help in
understanding what I dont know.
I have a program I am trying to understand. It #includes usb.h which I can
find in /usr/include. I can go to /usr/lib and find libusb.a which I can run
ar and nm on.
Ar tells me this library contains usb.o (amongst other things), and nm tells
me this library contains usb_find_busses (amongst other things).
So, I go looking for usb.c using 'find / -iname usb.c' and find three usb.c's,
all in the kernel source for FC (/usr/src/linux-2.6.10-1.14_FC2_arch).
None of these usb.c files contain the userspace stuff I am looking for. They
all contain the kernelspace side of the usb stack.
So, where do I go to find the appropriate C source code for a library
in /usr/lib that is included by an include from /usr/include in Fedora Core?
With Respect, Charles Krinke
