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.
