Where is the command 'ls' kernel source code?

Question

What I want to know is the command 'ls' flow

example : "ls -> some_function() in kernel -> [VFS function] -> make dentry object"

I think when I type 'ls' in command line, a function in kernel is called at first.

What is the first function called in kernel source?

ls is not part of Linux, it is part of Gnu. Gnu runs on Linux and other kernels. — ctrl-alt-delor
