Very Computer

There may be a better newsgroup for this question; if so, please let me
know what it is.  I am not a regular Linux newsgroup follower.

I am looking for the source code to the ANSI C library routine mktime().
[It does not necessarily have to be the Linux version of this routine, but
since I have access to a Linux installation I thought that would be the
easiest to find.]  I did not find it in the linux-kernel source tree, nor
in the source for gcc, and I'm at a loss on where else to look.

Since much of the source seems to be stored in RPM format, it is not easily
searchable with the "find" command.

My specific question is where I might find the source to mktime().  A more
generic question would be how to find source code for a given routine on a
Linux installation.

The machine I am using is running Red Hat Linux release 5.1.

Thanks in advance.

It's in the C library sources.  Look for an RPM with "libc" and "src"
in the name somewhere.  (There are at least two versions of the
library, an older one -- libc5 -- and the one used in newer
distributions, glibc.)

I'd expect to find it in the libc sources.
