NAME
what
- search files for SCCS identifiers
SYNOPSIS
what
[-s]
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.
