How does one get the source code for memcpy()?

Why does one want the source code for memcpy?

[Not that there aren't reasons, but I'm curious as to what they are.]

Note that there is no "the" source code for memcpy. There will be
many sources: some cunningly optimised for a particular environment,
some written to make the intended effect clear; some written in ISO C,
some written in GNU C, some written in assembler ...

Was the Vax C runtime library written in C or Bliss or whatever?
