If you want to know how the c code works, you can do that very easily. If you want to understand it, study the principles or grow an extra chromosome.

sorry about that grammar
I am familiar with operating system concepts and quite a bit of C.
I wanted to take that understanding further by looking at actual implementation of concepts like page faults,virtual memory,process scheduling (CFS).
