what(1) User Commands what(1) NAME what - extract SCCS version information from a file SYNOPSIS what [-s] filename... DESCRIPTION The what utility searches each filename for occurrences of the pattern @(#) that the SCCS get command (see sccs-get(1)) substitutes for the %Z% ID keyword, and prints what follows up to a ", >, NEWLINE, \, or NULL character. OPTIONS The following option is supported: -s Stops after the first occurrence of the pattern. -V -version --version Prints the what version number string and exists. This option is a SCHILY extension that does not exist in his- toric sccs implementations. EXAMPLES Example 1 Extracting SCCS version information If a C program in file program.c contains char sccsid[] = "@(#)identification information"; and program.c is compiled to yield program.o and a.out, the command: example% what program.c program.o a.out produces: program.c: identification information program.o: identification information a.out: identification information ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES See environ(7) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of what: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH. EXIT STATUS The following exit values are returned: 0 Any matches were found. 1 No matches found. ATTRIBUTES See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: +------------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +------------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Availability |SUNWsprot | +------------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Interface Stability |Standard | +------------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO sccs(1), sccs-add(1), sccs-admin(1), sccs-branch(1), sccs-cdc(1), sccs-check(1), sccs-clean(1), sccs-comb(1), sccs-commit(1), sccs-create(1), sccs-cvt(1), sccs-deledit(1), sccs-delget(1), sccs-delta(1), sccs-diffs(1), sccs-edit(1), sccs-editor(1), sccs-enter(1), sccs-fix(1), sccs-get(1), sccs-help(1), sccs-histfile(1), sccs-info(1), sccs-init(1), sccs-istext(1), sccs-ldiffs(1), sccs-log(1), sccs-print(1), sccs-prs(1), sccs-prt(1), sccs-rcs2sccs(1), sccs-remove(1), sccs-rename(1), sccs-rmdel(1), sccs-root(1), sccs-sact(1), sccs-sccsdiff(1), sccs-status(1), sccs-tell(1), sccs-unedit(1), sccs-unget(1), sccs-val(1), sccschangeset(5), sccsfile(5), attributes(7), environ(7), standards(7). DIAGNOSTICS Use the SCCS help command for explanations (see sccs-help(1)). BUGS There is a remote possibility that a spurious occurrence of the `@(#)' pattern could be found by what. Mail bugs and suggestions to schilytools@mlists.in-berlin.de or open a ticket at https://codeberg.org/schilytools/schilytools/issues. The mailing list archive may be found at: https://mlists.in-berlin.de/mailman/listinfo/schilytools-mlists.in-berlin.de. AUTHORS The SCCS suite was originally written by Marc J. Rochkind at Bell Labs in 1972. Release 4.0 of SCCS, introducing new versions of the programs admin(1), get(1), prt(1), and delta(1) was published on February 18, 1977; it introduced the new text based SCCS v4 history file format (previous SCCS releases used a binary history file format). The SCCS suite was later maintained by various people at AT&T and Sun Microsys- tems. Since 2006, the SCCS suite has been maintained by Joerg Schilling and the schilytools project authors.
