ence page for a program. Searches for the sources of a program.
Use the -B, -M, and -S options to change or limit the places whereis searches. Specifies the binary directories to search. Specifies the
reference page directories to search. Specifies the source directories to search.
The other options that can be used with whereis are as follows: Terminates the last directory list and signals the start of program names.
Used with other options to indicate when there is no file for program in the default or specified directory or directories (source, binary,
or reference page).
DESCRIPTION
The whereis program locates source, binary, and reference pages for the specified programs. When looking for a match, the program names
are stripped of leading pathname components and any trailing extensions of the form (for example, s. resulting from the use of the Source

/usr/lib /usr/local /usr/hosts /usr/sbin
EXAMPLES
To find files matching cat in the default source, binary, and reference directories, enter: whereis cat To search for reference pages for
app13 in the directory /usr/local/man, enter: whereis -M /usr/local/man -f -f appl3 To find the programs in /usr/bin that do not have ref-
erence pages in /usr/share/man/man1 with source files in /usr/src/cmd, enter: whereis -u -M /usr/share/man/man1
-S /usr/src/cmd -f /usr/bin/* To find which files in the current directory either have no reference pages in the default reference
