NAME
       what - get SCCS identification information

SYNOPSIS
       file ...

DESCRIPTION
       The  command  searches the given files for all occurrences of the pattern that get(1) substitutes for (currently @(#) at this printing) and
       prints out what follows until the first ", new-line, or null character.	For example, if the C program in file contains

       and is compiled to yield and the command

       prints

	      identification information

	      identification information

	      identification information

       is intended to be used in conjunction with the SCCS command (see get(1)) which automatically inserts identifying information,  but  it  can
       also be used where the information is inserted manually.

   Options

	      Quit after finding the first occurrence of pattern in each file.

       variable.  If is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of If any internationalization
       variable contains an invalid setting, behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C".  See environ(5).
