Understanding the netsurf code

Good day Guys
I was looking through the source code for netsurf and I had these issues:
I could have asked them on IRC but I only have internet connection in the night when most of the IRC guys
are not around

1) I am using netsurf with linux (with gtk frontend) and I wish to ask where does the executable start?
when type ./nsgtk, which main funcion is called? is it the one at gtk/gui.c?

2) Is there a means to know which functions are netsurf functions and which are  standard C functions? It took me some time to decide if a fuction like die() was a function from A C library or not

and lastly,
3) Is there a means t determine specifically where a function is defined, beacuse I always to a recursive search in the netsurf directory before finding where functions or Macros are defined? We could use a program like doxygen to generate some docs with a great searching capabilities

Thanks for your time
