WHAT(1)  —  Unix Programmer’s Manual

NAME

what − show what versions of object modules were used to construct a file

SYNOPSIS

what name ... 

DESCRIPTION

What reads each file and searches for sequences of the form “@(#)” as inserted by the source code control system.  It then prints the remainder of the string after this marker, up to a null character, newline, double quote, or “>” character. 

BUGS

As SCCS is not licensed with UNIX/32V, this is a rewrite of the what command which is part of SCCS, and may not behave exactly the same as that command does.
