## what

    what [option] files

Search `files` for the pattern @(#) and print the text that follows it. Actually, the pattern searched for is the value of %Z%, but the get command expands this keyword to @(#). The main purpose of what is to print identification strings.

### Option

-s

  Quit after finding the first occurrence of a pattern.
