whereis(1) DG/UX 4.30 whereis(1)
NAME
whereis - locate source, binary, and or manual for program
SYNOPSIS
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 *
FILES
/usr/src/*
