Name
       what - display ID keywords from SCCS file

Syntax
       what [-s] files

Description
       The command searches the given files for all occurrences of the pattern that substitutes for %Z% (this is @(#) at this printing) and prints
       out what follows until the first ", >, new-line, , or null character.  For example, if the C program in file f.c contains

	    char ident[] = "@(#)identification information";

       and f.c is compiled to yield f.o and a.out, then the command

	    what f.c f.o a.out

       will print

	    f.c:
		    identification information

	    f.o:
		    identification information

	    a.out:
		    identification information

       Use in conjunction with the SCCS command which automatically inserts identifying information, but information can also  be  inserted  manu-
       ally.

Restrictions
       It is possible that an unintended occurrence of the pattern @(#) could be found.  This causes no harm in nearly all cases.

Diagnostics
       Use for explanations.

Options
       -s     Quit after finding the first occurrence of the pattern in the file.

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.

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

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Any matches were found.

       1	No matches found.
