source code for linux host command

Where can I find the soure for the Linux 'host' command. I tried
ftp.uu.net without luck. I'm trying to determine how it translates an
IP address (aa.bb.cc.dd) to a real host name. I've tried gethostbyaddr
without luck (returns rc=1 which is EPERM).

On my system (SUSE) it appears to be part of bind-utils package
(found this out with "rpm -qf /usr/bin/host"). "rpm -qi bind-utils"
tells among other things that the original software can be found
from http://isc.org/sw/bind/ .

(and of course, by getting the corresponding src.rpm package from some
SUSE mirror, I'd get the source with any patches specific to the SUSE
distribution).
