WHAT(1) General Commands Manual WHAT(1) NAME what -- show what versions of object modules were used to construct a file SYNOPSIS what [-qs] [file ...] DESCRIPTION The what utility searches each specified file for sequences of the form "@(#)" as inserted by the SCCS source code control system. It prints the remainder of the string following this marker, up to a NUL character, new- line, double quote, `>' character, or backslash. The following options are available: -q Only output the match text, rather than formatting it. -s Stop searching each file after the first match. EXIT STATUS Exit status is 0 if any matches were found, otherwise 1. SEE ALSO ident(1), strings(1) STANDARDS The what utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 ("POSIX.1"). The -q op- tion is a non-standard FreeBSD extension which may not be available on other operating systems. HISTORY The what command appeared in 4.0BSD. BUGS This is a rewrite of the SCCS command of the same name, and behavior may not be identical. FreeBSD 15.1 December 14, 2006 WHAT(1)
