How to remember the kernel variable names and functions
 
hi guys..
i was going through the linux device drivers book and i found a number of references to linux/sched.h and many others.
there are a number of variables and system calls.
how to remember them all or how should i begin...i m a bit baffled...
pls help me...

Can you explain what you mean? Or are you talking about just trying to remember them in general? If that's the case, just mess around with them until you become fluent.

no not in general i have to learn which header files which functions are associated with different contexts such as process management, i/o management, memory management.. how are they structured...i mean there are a lot of functions how to deal with them...
pls suggest any link or book or tell me how to start understanding those functions or procedures in the kernel. Is messing around only the way..

Look at the functions themselves, it's the best way IMO....
