The following will change all 'cont' words to your choice (I doubt you want to use 'XXXX' as I did here) in cgroup.c: sed -i -r 's/(\W|^)cont(\W|$)/\1XXXX\2/g' kernel/cgroup.c I can't say for sure, but I suspect that if cgroups had always been cgroups (short for control groups), then these local 'cont' variables would have a different name. One can often, as in this case, find some justification for most any name. The question is which name is most quickly and easily understood. ... yes ... I'm a stickler for names ... sorry. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
