Where can find the source code?

If you are running a rpm based system, you can use rpm to find out what
package provides an executable.

For example, the command "rpm -qf /bin/ls" will give the following
result, coreutils-5.2.1-31

This means that the command 'ls' is provided by the rpm package
'coreutils'. A simple search of the web should be able to yield a
source RPM for this package.

No, I don't use rpms. I'm using ubuntu now.
