The Whereis
program locates source/binary and manuals sections
for specified files. The supplied names are first stripped of leading
pathname components and of any (single) trailing extension of the form
`.ext', e.g. `.c'. Prefixes of `s.' resulting from use
of source code control are also dealt with. Whereis
then
attempts to locate the desired program in a list of standard places.
For the future, it is planned to rewrite whereis to support long options and database lookup.
