i just want to find out the c source code. but i am unable to find all these thing , i want to know the implemntation of some c function like printf and many other function.
Do you mean that you want to write a C Program on linux and run it?
Do this:
#yum install gcc*
or
#rpm -ivh gcc*
open vi editor and type the program.
#vi sample.c (file extention should be .c)
#include<stdio.h>
main(void)
{
printf("Welcome to the world of C");
}
---save the file (:wq)
#gcc sample.c
--it produces a file called a.out
#./a.out
Just quessing but I think its something like /usr/include/ where the source is.
what the path you mentioned , only the header files are present. i am looking for the source code of the all the function like sizeof(), memset() ,etc.. i just want to find that how the functions are written .
As I understand it, all functions in the standard C library are in the GNU libc library. Source code can be downloaded from http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.
