       whereis - Locates files for programs

SYNOPSIS

       The whereis command locates source, binary, and/or reference page files for the specified program program.

OPTIONS

       The -b, -m, and -s options can be used in combination to restrict the search.  Searches for an executable program.  Searches for the refer-
       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

       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
