Question How to make alteration on GRUB source code


Q1. need to record which OS user select.
Q2. need to implement write function while current Grub have provided read function.
I guess maybe :
To meet Q1, the function
Builtins.c->root_func(char *arg, int flags) needs to be modified;
To meet Q2, I should add one unsighed long (*read_func)(char* buf,unsighed long len) member function in the Filesys.h->struct fsys_entry{} refering to the member function unsighed long (*read_func)(char* buf,unsighed long len)in the struct and implement it.

Though I had read the grub.info for times, I still feel these hints are not sufficient to guide me coding, to give a whole comprehension to the framework.
I am not sure what code and where is the exactly place should my attention be
paid to. for example : run_menu() function has 6 input parameters, how they are
prepaired , what they represent for, and what's the effect as it's the last statement in cmain()?
If only there were some guides.

Your two Qs are unclear to me. Why would you want to modify the source code exactly? What are you trying to do?
