     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
          ", >, 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 is for use with the SCCS 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.
