It prints the remainder of the string following this marker, up to a null character, newline, double quote, backslash, or ">" character. If the -s option is specified, only the first occurrence of an identification string in each file is printed. EXIT STATUS The what utility exits 0 if any matches were found, and 1 otherwise. STANDARDS The what utility conforms to X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4, Version 2 ("XPG4.2"). HISTORY The what command appeared in 4.0BSD.
