NAME
     what -- show what versions of object modules were used to construct a
     file

SYNOPSIS
     what [-s] file ...

DESCRIPTION
     The what utility searches each specified file for sequences of the form
     ``@(#)'' as inserted by the 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 option is available:

     -s      Stop searching each file after the first match.

     Exit status is 0 if any matches were found, otherwise 1.

SEE ALSO
     ident(1), strings(1)

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.
