Shell source code

I found the source code in C of the different commands in Linux in /coreutils directory. Is there any source code of the shell (in C) that manages all these?

What distribution?
What is the full path to coreutils?

Many of the Linux utilities come from GNU--I assume the source code would be there--or at sourceforge.

Here's one link found using "source coreutils" in Google:
http://directory.fsf.org/coreutils.html

You can get the bash source from this page. I think that's what you're after.

I found some sh-utils with different source code files in C such as man, tty, pwd source codes. Still I can't find the main shell source code that manages the calls to the various commands (man, tty, pwd, etc.)

did you look at the gnu site linked by cs-cam? I think all those files are source (or at east include the source)

I found shell.c and shell.h, but I'm not sure these are the only files.
