Accessing the source code of Stata commands and functions

Is it possible to view the source code of Stata commands and functions? I am wondering how the lnskew0 command is implemented in Stata.

The source code could help to adapt functions to other languages, such as Python and R:

For functions you can only see the inner workings of those relating to the egen command.

However, you can see the source code of commands/programs using the viewsource command:

viewsource lnskew0.ado

Typing help viewsource will provide further details.
