     NAME
          what - identify SCCS files

     SYNOPSIS
          what [-s] file ...

     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 au-
          tomatically, 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.

     EXAMPLES
          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

     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.
