Can I view the source code of netstat on my Linux machine?

Best Answer

Yes you can. Download it.

But as you don't say what flavor of linux re you using here is couple of examples:

Debian/Ubuntu related:

# What package is the netstat executable in?
apt-file search /usr/bin/netstat
# Now download the source of that package
apt-get source net-tools

CentOS/Red Hat:

yumdownloader --source net-tools

```
dpkg -S /full/path/to/chat` or `apt-file search bin/chat`
```
If necessary, find a more detailed description of the program, e.g.
```
apt-cache show ppp
```

Where is `scanf` implementation source code

It's in glibc library scanf.c source

glibc stands for GNU C Library. It is a C standard library implementation. It's not a part of the compiler, because you might have different implementations of it (like Microsoft C run-time for example) as well as different compilers (like clang).
