NAME

 what - extract SCCS version information from a file

SYNOPSIS

 what [-s] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

 

what searches each filename for occurrences of the pattern @(#) that the SCCS get command (see sccs-get(1)) substitutes for the @(#) ID keyword, and prints what follows up to a ", >, NEWLINE, \, or null character.

OPTIONS

 

The following option is supported:

-s
Stop after the first occurrence of the pattern.

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
