        SYNTAX

        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 ", >, new-line, \, 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 identification information for f.c, f.o, and a.out.

        What for use with the  command get(1), which automatically
        inserts identifying information; but you can also use it where
        the information is inserted manually.  Only one option exists:

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


        SEE ALSO

        get(1), help(1).


        DIAGNOSTICS

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


        BUGS

        An unintended occurrence of the pattern @(#) could be found by
        chance, but this usually causes no harm.
