Hello ____
To get the source code of libc please read and apply the following steps.
First you will needs to enable source repositories.
Please follow this link: help.ubuntu.com/
Now, as for the code, the correct method of obtaining source code for libc (or any other software in Ubuntu for the matter) is to issue:
apt-get source WANTED-PACKAGE-NAME
In case of libc that is:
mkdir sources
cd sources
apt-get source libc6
You will see several archives being download to your local computer, the end result should be a directory named eglibc-2.10.1 which contains the actual sources of the library.
You are encouraged to try ls inside the directory.
Also, to find the code implementation for strtok you would use something like:
cd eglibc-2.10.1
find -name '*.c' -exec grep -H strtok {} \+
...
...
Your code is in ./string/strtok.c, enjoy :)
The source of the source code is FSF, which is obtained freely from http://www.gnu.org/software/
BTW, you might also like to install the man pages for C development on Linux, for this issue:
sudo apt-get install manpages-dev
This will install several man pages that so that things like: man printf (among many others) will start making sense.
To learn what was installed by a specific package, in this case manpages-dev try dpkg -L manpages-dev this is a very very VERY long list... so perhaps you should pipe it into less try dpkg -L manpages-dev | less now you can easily scroll up and down the list as well as search for specific text (type /, enter your text, hit Enter).
When finished you would leave less by hitting q.
Hope you find this useful.
Welcome to GNU/Linux.
Maxim.
