Grep is the index. The files have names, use those as your table of contents.

You can often use known text strings (rpc commands, log messages, errors, etc) to get into the right ballpark. From there, grep function names forward and backward to find what you are looking for. Be careful of namespaces when grepping.

I think grep is going to be your table of contents.

I think some variable names require the catch-22 of knowing what they are.

But thanks, I'll play some regex golf.

There's no table of contents for the files?

So it's copyright by obfuscation?
