Fl f 47.Ar program ... 48.Sh DESCRIPTION 49The 50.Nm 51utility checks the standard binary, manual page, and source 52directories for the specified programs, printing out the paths of any 53it finds. The supplied names are first stripped of leading path name 54components, any single trailing extension added by 55.Xr gzip 1 56or 57.Xr compress 1 , 58and the leading 59.Ql s.\& 60or trailing 61.Ql ,v 62from a source code control system. 63.Pp 64The default path searched is the string returned by the 65.Xr sysctl 8 66utility for the 67.Dq user.cs_path 68string, with 69.Pa /usr/libexec 70and the current user's 71.Ev $PATH 72appended. Manual pages are searched by default along the 73.Ev $MANPATH . 74Program sources are located in a list of known standard places, 75including all the subdirectories of 76.Pa /usr/src 77and 78.Pa /usr/ports . 79.Pp 80The following options are available: 81.Bl -tag -width indent 82.It Fl B 83Specify directories to search for binaries. Requires the 84.Fl f 85option. 86.It Fl M 87Specify directories to search for manual pages. Requires the 88.Fl f 89option. 90.It Fl S 91Specify directories to search for program sources. Requires the 92.Fl f 93option. 94.It Fl b 95Search for binaries. 96.It Fl f 97Delimits the list of directories after the 98.Fl B , 99.Fl M , 100or 101.Fl S 102options, and indicates the beginning of the 103.Ar name 104list. 105.It Fl m 106Search for manual pages. 107.It Fl s 108Search for source directories. 109.It Fl u 110Search for 111.Dq unusual 112entries. A file is said to be unusual if it does not have one entry 113of each requested type. 114.El 115.Sh EXAMPLES 116The following finds all utilities under 117.Pa /usr/bin 118that do not have documentation: 119.Dl whereis -m -u /usr/bin/* 120.Sh SEE ALSO 121.Xr find 1 , 122.Xr locate 1 , 123.Xr man 1 , 124.Xr which 1 , 125.Xr sysctl 8 126.Sh BUGS 127The search for sources is implemented as a quick search as the 128first-level subdirectory of each element of the list of source 129directories first. If this didn't succeed, the utility 130.Xr locate 1 131is requested to do the search in deeper nested subdirectories. This 132might take some time, and will only succeed if the locate database is 133up-to-date. 134.Sh HISTORY 135The 136.Nm 137command appeared in 138.Bx 3.0 . 139This version re-implements the historical 140functionality that was lost in 141.Bx 4.4 . 142
