       NAME
             what - print identification strings

       SYNOPSIS
             what [-s] file . . .

       DESCRIPTION
             what searches the given files for all occurrences of the
             pattern that the get command 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

                   #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

             prints

                   f.c:
                         identification information
                   f.o:
                         identification information
                   a.out:
                         identification information

             what is intended to be used in conjunction with the get
             command, which automatically inserts identifying information,
             but it can also be used where the information is inserted
             manually.  Only one option exists:

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

          International Functions
             files can be specified using characters from supplementary
             code sets.

             Characters from supplementary code sets can be used for
             identification information following the keyword %Z%.
