WHEREIS(1) | General Commands Manual | WHEREIS(1) |
whereis
— locate
programs
whereis |
[-p ] program
[program ...] |
The whereis
utility checks the standard
binary directories for the specified programs, printing out the paths of any
it finds.
The default path searched is the string returned by the
sysctl(8) utility for the
“user.cs_path” string. If the [-p
]
option is specified, then the value of the environment variable
PATH
is used instead.
The whereis
utility exits 0 on success, 1
on general error, 2 if only some programs were located and 3 if none
were.
The historic flags and arguments for the
whereis
utility are no longer available in this
version.
The whereis
command appeared in
3.0BSD.
