Thinks about people who writes those docs, write thinking about one distribution
of linux not for all.
Every one distribution has its own directorys and pahs for files, but ... there is
something all of them has
usually in common : the name of the files. So that I'd try to find where is in my
system a file called
"filesystems.c" (if dont find anyone , try to find "filesystems"). And if not find
nothing , then try to go first
to a directory called "linux", if not try to watch if there is a subdirectory
called "linux". Watch if path begins with
"/" or not. (In the case you tells /linux/fs/fylesystems.c" I'm quite sure you
misspelled it and the correct path you
read is : "linux/fs/filesystems.c" (it doesn't begins by "/" so it is a relative
path) and its absolute path is :
"/usr/src/linux/fs/fylesystems.c"
