WHAT(1)                   BSD General Commands Manual                  WHAT(1)

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

SYNOPSIS
     what name ...

DESCRIPTION
     what reads each file name and searches for sequences of the form ``@(#)''
     as inserted by the source code control system.  It prints the remainder
     of the string following this marker, up to a null character, newline,
     double quote, or ``> character.''

BUGS
     As BSD is not licensed to distribute SCS this is a rewrite of the what
     command which is part of SCS, and may not behave exactly the same as
     that command does.

HISTORY
     The what command appeared in 4.0BSD.
