Could anyone tell me that where I can find the source
code of software on my system? Such as ls, cd .etc.

first you have to find out to  which package the binary you are interested in 
belongs to, eg
~ $ equery b /bin/ls
 * Searching for /bin/ls ... 
sys-apps/coreutils-8.14 (/bin/ls)

(If you don't have equery, install gentoolkit)

Use the command
emerge -f =<cat>/<package>-<version>
to download the sources to your distfiles.
(if they are already there, the command above downloads nothing)

Unpack them to somewhere in your $HOME, done.

Best,
Michael

Humm , I guess  he just want to look for the source code of gnu coreutils,

just download the gnu coreutils. http://ftp.cn.debian.org/gnu/coreutils/

uncompress it , then you can find them all .

Ha, you're right.  I don't know how to call them as you call them coreutils.
I just want to study simple codes at beginning. So, thanks a lot !
