f[a_, b_, c_, x_] := Module[{d, e, f},
  d = a + b/2;
  e = Exp[-c*x];
  d*x^2 + e*x + c]

DownValues[f] // InputForm

{HoldPattern[f[a_, b_, c_, x_]] :> Module[{d, e, f}, 
   d = a + b/2; e = Exp[(-c)*x]; d*x^2 + e*x + c]}

However, other Values could have been defined so

n = ToExpression[Names["*Values"]]

{DefaultValues,DownValues,DynamicModuleValues,FormatValues, 
NValues,OwnValues,SingularValues,SubValues,UpValues}

Select[{#, #[f]} & /@ n, FreeQ[#[[2]], #[[1]]] &] // Quiet

=============
Hello,


I seem to have accidentally 'orphaned' three functions i built .

That is, the code is still active in memory, and the function name  
shows in black and displays its intended data ; however, the file's  
copies of the functions' source-code have been modified and recompiled  
under different names, for different purposes .

Is there a way to retrieve function source-code in Mathematica ?
