Newbie is looking for the code of the mining process

[MrSteel]

Hey guys, newbie here.

I have been doing a lot of research on that topic and I have a pretty good idea how the mining process works. But I'd like to find the mining code - especially the main part where the block headers are hashed until a fitting hash is found which creates a new block.

Can somebody help me with that? Is the code explained somewhere?

Thank you.

Mining software comes from multiple sources.

Here's one that might help you see what it is doing though:
