whereis Command
  
  
  Purpose
  
  Locates source, binary, or manual for program.
  
   Syntax
  
  whereis [  -s ] [  -b ] [  -m ] [  -u ] [ { {  -S |  -B |  -M
   } Directory ... }... 
   -f ] File ... 
  
  Description
  
  The whereis command locates the source, binary, and manuals sec-
  tions for specified files.  The supplied names are first stripped
  of leading  path name components and any (single) trailing exten-
  sion of the form .ext (for example, .c).  Prefixes of s. result-
  ing from use of the Source Code Control System (see SCCS) are
  also  dealt  with.  The command then attempts to find the desired
  program from a list of standard locations.
  
  A usage message is returned if a bad option is entered.  In other
  cases, no diagnostics are provided.
  
  Flags
  
  If any of the -b, -s, -m or -u flags are given, the whereis com-
  mand  searches  only for binary, source, manual, or unusual  sec-
  tions respectively (or any two thereof).
  
  -b	Searches for binary sections of a file.
  
  -m 	Searches for manual sections of a file.
  
  -s	Searches for source sections of a file.
  
  -u 	Searches for unusual files.  A file is said to be unusual if
  it does not have one entry of each requested type.
  
  The -B, -M, and -S flags can be used to change or otherwise limit
  the places where the whereis command searches.  Since the program
  uses the chdir subroutine to run faster, path names given with
  the -M, -S and -B flag directory list must be full; for example,
  they must begin with a / (slash).
  
  -B	Like -b, but adds a directory to search.
  
  -M	Like -m, but adds a directory to search.
  
  -S	Like -s, but adds a directory to search.
  
  -f	Terminates the last -M, -S or -B directory list and signal the
  start of file names.
  
  Examples
  
  1.	To find files in the current directory that have no documenta-
  tion, enter:
  
  whereis -m -u *
  
  2.	To find all of the files in the /usr/ucb directory that either
  are not documented in the /usr/man/man1 directory or do not have
  source in the /usr/src/cmd directory, enter:
  
  cd /usr/ucb
  whereis -u -M /usr/man/man1 -S /usr/src/cmd -f *
  
  Implementation Specifics
