+.SH SYNOPSIS

+\fBwhat\fP \fB[\fP\fB-s\fP\fB]\fP \fIfile\fP\fB... \fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIwhat\fP utility shall search the given files for all occurrences
+of the pattern that \fIget\fP (see \fIget\fP ) substitutes for the
+%\fBZ\fP% keyword (
+\fB"@(#)"\fP ) and shall write to standard output what follows until
+the first occurrence of one of the following:
+.sp
+.RS
+.nf
+
+\fB" > newline \\ NUL
+\fP
+.fi
+.RE
+.SH OPTIONS
+.LP
+The \fIwhat\fP utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume
+of IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines.
+.LP
+The following option shall be supported:
+.TP 7
+\fB-s\fP
+Quit after finding the first occurrence of the pattern in each file.
+.sp
+.SH OPERANDS
+.LP
+The following operands shall be supported:
+.TP 7
+\fIfile\fP
+A pathname of a file to search.
+.sp
+.SH STDIN
+.LP
+Not used.
+.SH INPUT FILES
+.LP
+The input files shall be of any file type.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+.LP
+The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
+\fIwhat\fP:
+.TP 7
+\fILANG\fP
+Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that
+are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
+IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables
+for
+the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine
+the values of locale categories.)
+.TP 7
+\fILC_ALL\fP
+If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
+other internationalization variables.
+.TP 7
+\fILC_CTYPE\fP
+Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes
+of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
+opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments and input files).
+.TP 7
+\fILC_MESSAGES\fP
+Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
+contents of diagnostic messages written to standard
+error.
+.TP 7
+\fINLSPATH\fP
+Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of \fILC_MESSAGES
+\&.\fP
+.sp
+.SH ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
+.LP
+Default.
+.SH STDOUT
+.LP
+The standard output shall consist of the following for each \fIfile\fP
+operand:
+.sp
+.RS
+.nf
+
+\fB"%s:\\n\\t%s\\n", <\fP\fIpathname\fP\fB>, <\fP\fIidentification string\fP\fB>
+\fP
+.fi
+.RE
+.SH STDERR
+.LP
+The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
+.SH OUTPUT FILES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+None.
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+.LP
+The following exit values shall be returned:
+.TP 7
+0
+Any matches were found.
+.TP 7
+1
+Otherwise.
+.sp
+.SH CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
+.LP
+Default.
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+The \fIwhat\fP utility is intended to be used in conjunction with
+the SCCS command \fIget\fP, which automatically inserts identifying
+information, but it can also be used where the
+information is inserted by any other means.
+.LP
+When the string \fB"@(#)"\fP is included in a library routine in a
+shared library, it might not be found in an \fBa.out\fP
+file using that library routine.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+If the C-language program in file \fBf.c\fP contains:
+.sp
+.RS
+.nf
+
+\fBchar ident[] = "@(#)identification information";
+\fP
+.fi
+.RE
+.LP
+and \fBf.c\fP is compiled to yield \fBf.o\fP and \fBa.out\fP, then
+the command:
+.sp
+.RS
+.nf
+
+\fBwhat f.c f.o a.out
+\fP
+.fi
+.RE
+.LP
+writes:
+.sp
+.RS
+.nf
+
+\fBf.c:
+ identification information
+ ...
+f.o:
+ identification information
+ ...
+a.out:
+ identification information
+ ...
+\fP
+.fi
+.RE
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
