Download a linux kernel (www.kernel.org), unpack it. fork.c resides in the /path/to/linux-x.y.z/kernel/ directory.

WHY do you want the fork source code?

From man man:

Quote:
1 Executable programs or shell commands
2 System calls (functions provided by the kernel)
3 Library calls (functions within program libraries)
4 Special files (usually found in /dev)
5 File formats and conventions eg /etc/passwd
6 Games
7 Miscellaneous (including macro packages and conventions), e.g. man(7), groff(7)
8 System administration commands (usually only for root)
9 Kernel routines [Non standard]
So either 2 or 3,

man 2 fork
man 3 fork

Both show:
Quote:
#include <unistd.h>
Code:
[bull:~]$ locate unistd.h
/usr/include/unistd.h
/usr/include/asm/unistd.h
/usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h

/usr/src/kernels/3.6.6-1.fc16.x86_64/include/linux/unistd.h
[bull:~]$

I opened the first one, /usr/include/unisd.h

Then I searched for "fork", and several matching lines were found.
