Looking for iptables applications code (iptables.c) to run some rules to forward packets

I couldn't find iptables.c to compile iptables application code under
freshly installed Linux machine (I can see iptables packet filtering
kernel code under net/ipv4/netfiler Directory). But I need to run
iptables rules, so I need to make iptables executable binary, so I need
iptables application code.

Thanks in advance.

I can't belive you have seen the *iptables* kernel code in the
*netfilter* directory and you haven't tried to search for that
in google. Obviously the code for iptables appears as the first
entry of the search.
