Hi folks,

I wonder if there is any good tool/program that helps me read the source
code of FreeBSD kernel. Thanks!

I'm using GNU GLOBAL source code tag system. You can find it as a package
on the FreeBSD site. It show you all the sources in HTML with a lot of
usefull Xref.

And for finding things in the source code try:

http://minnie.tuhs.org/FreeBSD-srctree/FreeBSD.html

Type in the variable you are looking for, submit, and the next
thing will show you the modules it is in.  That may help going
along with your reading

cat, dd, od, tac, rev, perl, python, gcc, sed, grep, are all useful
tools to one degree or another.

Perhaps friendlier would be more, less, most...
