.dat files are compiled game code, only the game can open them.
If you're looking for the game code, you'll find it here: https://gitlab.com/xonotic/xonotic-data.pk3dir/tree/master/qcsrc

Thanks for helping me, but I'm not looking for the game code. Some servers have they're own dat files and I'm trying look in them.

Your best bet is probably to open it up in a Hex editor and look through it that way. Just don't expect to get anything out of it that will make it worth your time.

Which server is the csprogs.dat file from? Maybe the admins would be willing to provide the source code.

Beagle, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5498197/need-a-good-hex-editor-for-linux
But as PinkRobot said, there's not much point looking at the compiled binary.
