If you aren't already be sure to spend 15 minutes learning ctags.
It makes navigating around C code very much easier since you can
put your cursor(in vi./vim) on a function name and "goto tag"
which will take you straight into the correct file at the
function definition.

Modern IDEs tend to have similar capabilities but ctags is
the original Unix way of doing that.
