Am I expected to dig around the code base to decipher their purpose or have I missed a vital area of documentation?

Hi Rick,
    There's a lot of man pages for kernel calls, but yes for some things 
you'll have to dig around in code.

As a start try looking in:
    module(9)
    driver(9)
   
    /usr/src/sys/sys
    /usr/share/examples/kld

Cheers,
    Benjamin
