[-qs ] [file ...] |
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, newline, double quote,
‘>
’ character, or backslash.
The following options are available:
Exit status is 0 if any matches were found, otherwise 1.
The what
utility conforms to
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”). The
-q
option is a non-standard
FreeBSD extension which may not be available on
other operating systems.
The what
command appeared in
4.0BSD.
This is a rewrite of the SCCS command of the same name, and behavior may not be identical.
