Man..it sure is nice to find friends who feel that same as I do about Software..A lot of the younger folks don't realize or appreciate the 'growing pains' many of us have experienced. I loved working on VM/CP/CMS and Linux reminds me of them. Very similar in the area of command line interface...The gui is a different story...

Absolutely; I've made a career out of source-level CP and CMS mods and fixes. In no way was I intending to disparage the use of source -- rather, I was assuming that the question meant that the OP really wanted to find/understand "the" Linux library, in which case "go read the source" wouldn't have been a very useful answer. And certainly when you're in a hurry and trying to Just Get The D*** Thing Working, reading the source isn't usually what you want to have to do. Let's not start the OCO discussion again, especially since we'll be on the same side...!
