I don't think Prim.hs exists (anymore). Depending on how you installed GHC, you might have the Haddock doc files locally, which includes Prim.
Or, you can :browse GHC.Prim in GHCi. Or, you can look at compiler/prelude/primops.txt.pp which generates the term-level definitions in Prim. Or, you can look at compiler/prelude/TysPrim.hs which "generates" the type-level definitions in Prim. I hope this helps!
