Lately I've started to look at the source to to some larger *nix
programs. Anyhow, I'm finding out that I'm struggling to understand
the parts that I can make sense out of -(.

We lack too much context. We don't know what domain this program is
about. It could be anything, and the comments could mean anything.

If you cannot tell us what's the program is about, you'll need to read
more of the source and connect the dots to be able to understand what
the comment is about.
