For instance, I wanted to see how printf is written. I looked into the stdio.h file, but there, I could only find the function declaration, no definition.

Welcome to the C community!

C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.
