     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

               f.c:
                       identification information

               f.o:
                       identification information

               a.out:
                       identification information

          what is intended to be used in conjunction with the SCCS
          command get(1), 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.

     SEE ALSO
          get(1).
          help(1) in the User's Reference Manual.

     DIAGNOSTICS
          Exit status is 0 if any matches are found, otherwise 1.  Use
          help(1) for explanations.

     BUGS
          It is possible that an unintended occurrence of the pattern
          @(#) could be found just by chance, but this causes no harm
          in nearly all cases.
