First, you'll have to have installed the source distro.
By default, sys sources are in /usr/src. There are subdirectories below
that. I usually end up doing a "find /usr/src -name script -print"
because I'm seldom sure what category the program fits into (whether
it's GNU or tools or what)
With a little more knowledge of the source tree you'd be able to find
what you're looking for quickly, but this info should get you there
reasonably fast.
