NAME
what - search files for SCCS identifiers
SYNOPSIS
what [-s] file ...
DESCRIPTION
The what utility reads each file operand and searches for sequences of
the form "@(#)" as inserted by the source code control system. It prints
the remainder of the string following this marker, up to a null
character, newline, double quote, backslash, or ">" character.
If the -s option is specified, only the first occurrence of an
identification string in each file is printed.
EXIT STATUS
The what utility exits 0 if any matches were found, and 1 otherwise.
STANDARDS
The what utility conforms to X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4, Version 2
("XPG4.2").
HISTORY
The what command appeared in 4.0BSD.
BUGS
As BSD is not licensed to distribute SCCS this is a rewrite of the what
command which is part of SCCS, and may not behave exactly the same as
that command does.
