     NAME
          what - identify SCCS files

     SYNOPSIS
          what [-s] files

     DESCRIPTION
          what searches the given files for all occurrences of the
          pattern that get(1) substitutes for %Z% (this is @(#) at
          this printing) and prints out what follows until the first
          ", >, newline, \, or null character.  For example, if the C
          program in file f.c contains

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

          and f.c is compiled to yield f.o and a.out, then the command

               what f.c f.o a.out

          will print

               f.c:      identification information

               f.o:      identification information

               a.out:
                         identification information

          what is intended to be used in conjunction with the SCCS
          command get(1), which inserts identifying information
          automatically, but it can also be used where the information
          is inserted manually.  Only one flag option exists:

               -s             Quit after finding the first occurrence
                              of pattern in each file.

     EXAMPLE
          If test1.c has the following string:

               char v[] = "@(#)1 test1.c 2";

          typing

               what test1.c

          would print the following:

               test1.c:
                    1 test1.c 2

     FILES
          /usr/bin/what

     SEE ALSO
          get(1), help(1).

     DIAGNOSTICS
          Exit status is 0 if any matches are found, otherwise 1.  Use
          help(1) for explanations.

     BUGS
          It is possible that an unintended occurrence of the pattern
          @(#) could be found just by chance, but this causes no harm
          in nearly all cases.
