!!DESCRIPTION |

|
23 |
|
| |
|
24 |
|
| |
|
25 |
__whereis__ locates source/binary and manuals sections |
| |
|
26 |
for specified files. The supplied names are first stripped |
| |
|
27 |
of leading pathname components and any (single) trailing |
| |
|
28 |
extension of the form __.__''ext,'' for example, |
| |
|
29 |
__.c__. Prefixes of __s.__ resulting from use of |
| |
|
30 |
source code control are also dealt with. __whereis__ then |
| |
|
31 |
attempts to locate the desired program in a list of standard |
| |
|
32 |
Linux places. |

Search for unusual entries. A file is said to be unusual if |
| |
|
58 |
it does not have one entry of each requested type. Thus |
| |
|
59 |
`__whereis -m -u *__' asks for those files in the current |
| |
|
60 |
directory which have no documentation. |

!!BUGS |
| |
|
120 |
|
| |
|
121 |
|
| |
|
122 |
Since __whereis__ uses __chdir__(2V) to run faster, |
| |
|
123 |
pathnames given with the __-M__, __-S__, or __-B__ |
| |
|
124 |
must be full; that is, they must begin with a |
| |
|
125 |
`__/__'. |
| |
|
126 |
|
| |
|
127 |
|
| |
|
128 |
__whereis__ has a hard-coded path, so may not always find |
| |
|
129 |
what you're looking for. |
