I am reading through some of the linux net sources but am confused on what are internal, kernel-only functions and what are externally visable syscalls. How can I tell from the source what is user-space visable that I can hook into and what is intternel stuff? Should I just be looking at headers or do I have to delve into the .c sources? I can do either, I just need a pointer on where to start and what I should be looking for.
