NAME
       whereis - locate source, binary, and manual page for program

SYNOPSIS
       whereis [ -sbm ] [ -u ] [ -SBM dir ...  -f ] name ...

DESCRIPTION
       Whereis locates source, binary, and manual page for specified names.
       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/uman/man1.

              cd /usr/bin
              whereis -M /usr/catman/uman/man1 -f -m -u *

FILES
       /usr/src/*
       /usr/catman/?man/man?
       /bin, /lib, /etc, /usr/bin, /usr/lib
