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.
