Have more accruate comments. While #if, #else, etc are copied to the header files, lines that don't start with # are not. And #include files are only output to sysinc (which winds up at the front of init_sysent.c which seems a bit odd). This is all radically undocumented, and likely has drifted somewhat from 4.4BSD and what other systems do (they've drifted too, fwiw). Sponsored by: Netflix |

FreeBSD Kernel Source:
This directory contains the source files and build glue that make up the FreeBSD kernel and its modules, including both original and contributed software.
Kernel configuration files are located in the conf/
subdirectory of each
architecture. GENERIC
is the configuration used in release builds. NOTES
contains documentation of all possible entries. LINT
is a compile-only
configuration used to maximize build coverage and detect regressions.
