Hi,

Does anyone know web site describing
techniques to read source codes written in
C language (or any other languages) ?

I would like to know systematized procedures
of source hacking.

Thank you.

When you mean source hacking, it depends on what you want to
accomplish by means of reading it.

Are you trying to
take over an existing project ?

In that case, most of the developers are comforable with
the top-down approach.

Are you trying to are you trying to
write an extension to something already there ?

Well - then a simple tool like grep should help you to
get to the source file that you want to hack. And from
the references you see there, you move over and try to understand
the code then.

In any case, a doc-generating tool like doxygen should help you a
lot.
