An ack query appears to yield some results: gimp-2.8.14$ ack -g scissor app/tools/gimpiscissorstool.c app/tools/gimpiscissorsoptions.h app/tools/.deps/gimpiscissorstool.Po app/tools/.deps/gimpiscissorsoptions.Po app/tools/gimpiscissorstool.h app/tools/gimpiscissorsoptions.c See ack ( http://beyondgrep.com/ ). You may also try a full text search (ack -g only searches inside the filenames). Note that GIMP's source code is licensed under version 2 or version 3 of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License which, while being an open-source licence, imposes some restrictions on what you can and cannot do with the code.
