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.

NAME

       what - extract SCCS version information from a file

SYNOPSIS

       what [-s] filename...

DESCRIPTION

       The what utility searches each filename for occurrences of the pattern @(#) that the SCCS get command (see sccs-get(1)) substitutes for the
       %Z% ID keyword, and prints what follows up to a ", >, NEWLINE, , or NULL character.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -s	Stops after the first occurrence of the pattern.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Extracting SCCS version information

       If a C program in file program.c contains

       char sccsid[] = "@(#)identification information";

       and program.c is compiled to yield program.o and a.out, the command:

       example% what program.c program.o a.out

       produces:

       program.c:      identification information

       program.o:      identification information

       a.out:	       identification information

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Any matches were found.

       1	No matches found.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of what: LANG, LC_ALL,	LC_CTYPE,  LC_MES-
       SAGES, and NLSPATH.
