SYNTAX
whereis [ -sbm ] [ -u ] [ -SBM dir ... -f ] name ...
DESCRIPTION
Whereis locates source/binary and manuals sections for specified
files. The supplied names are first stripped of leading pathname
components and any (single) trailing extension of the form
``.ext'', e.g. ``.c''. Prefixes of ``s.'' resulting from use of
source code control are also dealt with. Whereis then attempts
to locate the desired program in a list of standard places. If
any of the -b, -s or -m flags are given then whereis searches
only for binaries, sources or manual sections respectively (or
any two thereof). The -u flag may be used to search for unusual
entries. A file is said to be unusual if it does not have one
entry of each requested type.
Finally, the -B -M and -S flags may be used to change or
otherwise limit the places where whereis searches. The -f flag
is used to terminate the last such directory list and signal the
start of file names.
EXAMPLE
The following example finds all files in /usr/bin that are
undocumented in /usr/catman/u_man/man1.
cd /usr/bin
whereis -M /usr/catman/u_man/man1 -f -m -u *
