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....
