The function is probably slime-maybe-complete-as-filename in slime.el.

In general you can find the source file for a command with C-h k <key>
or C-h f <function>. This displays the documentation and a clickable
link to the source file (at least in Emacs, not sure about Aquamacs).
In the case above you could have used C-h k TAB which would probably
bring up slime-indent-and-complete-symbol and reading a bit its source
you would probably use C-h f slime-complete-symbol and after some
iterations you would be at slime-maybe-complete-as-filename.
