Source code is available for all GNU software. If you try searching on Google
( http://www.google.com/ ), you should be able to get to the fileutils source
pretty quickly. But try here:

http://www.gnu.org/directory/All_GNU_Packages/fileutils.html

If you are just starting to learn C, fileutils may be a heavy package to learn
from. You might want to try one of the smaller GNU utilities - finger maybe?

Incidentally coreutils does not seem to be listed here yet:

http://www.gnu.org/directory/All_GNU_Packages/

Is a non-testing release required, before packages can appear there?

Bye, Rich =]
