Name
       whereis - locate source, binary, and or manual for program

Syntax
       whereis [-sbm] [-u] [-SBM dir... -f] name...

Description
       The  command  locates  source/binary and manuals sections for specified
       files.  The supplied names are first stripped of leading pathname  com‐
       ponents	and  any (single) trailing extension of the form ``.ext'', for
       example,``.c''.	Prefixes of ``s.'' resulting from use of  source  code
       control	are  also dealt with.  The command then attempts to locate the
       desired program in a list of standard places.

Options
       -S dir
	  Search for source files in specified directory.

       -B dir
	  Search for binary files in given directory.

       -M dir
	  Search for manual section files in given directory.

       -b Searches only for binary files.

       -f Terminates last directory list created from use  of  -S,  -B	or  -M
	  flags and signals the start of file names.

       -m Searches only for manual section files.

       -s Searches only for source files.

       -u Searches  for files that do not have one of binary, source or manual
	  section files.  A file is said to be unusual if it does not have one
	  entry	 of  each  requested  type.  Thus ``whereis -m -u *'' asks for
	  those files in the current directory which have no documentation.

Examples
       The following finds all the files in which are not documented  in  with
       source in
       cd /usr/ucb
       whereis -u -M /usr/man/man1 -S /usr/src/cmd -f *

Restrictions
       Since  the  program  uses to run faster, pathnames given with the -M -S
       and -B must be full.  That is, they must begin with a ``/''.

Files
       /usr/src/*
       /usr/{doc,man}/*
       /lib, /etc, /usr/{lib,bin,ucb,old,new,local}
