+== NAME
+
+whereis - locate the binary, source, and manual page files for a command
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+*whereis* [options] [*-BMS* _directory_... *-f*] _name_...
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+*whereis* locates the binary, source and manual files for the specified command names. The supplied names are first stripped of leading pathname components. Prefixes of *s.* resulting from use of source code control are also dealt with. *whereis* then attempts to locate the desired program in the standard Linux places, and in the places specified by *$PATH* and *$MANPATH*.
+
+The search restrictions (options *-b*, *-m* and *-s*) are cumulative and apply to the subsequent _name_ patterns on the command line. Any new search restriction resets the search mask. For example,
+
+____
+*whereis -bm ls tr -m gcc*
+____
+
+searches for "ls" and "tr" binaries and man pages, and for "gcc" man pages only.
+
+The options *-B*, *-M* and *-S* reset search paths for the subsequent _name_ patterns. For example,
+
+____
+*whereis -m ls -M /usr/share/man/man1 -f cal*
+____
+
+searches for "*ls*" man pages in all default paths, but for "cal" in the _/usr/share/man/man1_ directory only.
+
+== OPTIONS
+
+*-b*::
+Search for binaries.
+
+*-m*::
+Search for manuals.
+
+*-s*::
+Search for sources.
+
+*-u*::
+Only show the command names that have unusual entries. A command is said to be unusual if it does not have just one entry of each explicitly requested type. Thus '*whereis -m -u **' asks for those files in the current directory which have no documentation file, or more than one.
+
+*-B* _list_::
+Limit the places where *whereis* searches for binaries, by a whitespace-separated list of directories.
+
+*-M* _list_::
+Limit the places where *whereis* searches for manuals and documentation in Info format, by a whitespace-separated list of directories.
+
+*-S* _list_::
+Limit the places where *whereis* searches for sources, by a whitespace-separated list of directories.
+
+*-f*::
+Terminates the directory list and signals the start of filenames. It _must_ be used when any of the *-B*, *-M*, or *-S* options is used.
+
+*-l*::
+Output the list of effective lookup paths that *whereis* is using. When none of *-B*, *-M*, or *-S* is specified, the option will output the hard-coded paths that the command was able to find on the system.
+
+include::man-common/help-version.adoc[]
+
+== FILE SEARCH PATHS
+
+By default *whereis* tries to find files from hard-coded paths, which are defined with glob patterns. The command attempts to use the contents of *$PATH* and *$MANPATH* environment variables as default search path. The easiest way to know what paths are in use is to add the *-l* listing option. Effects of the *-B*, *-M*, and *-S* are displayed with *-l*.
+
+== ENVIRONMENT
+
+*WHEREIS_DEBUG*=all::
+enables debug output.
+
+== EXAMPLES
+
+To find all files in _/usr/bin_ which are not documented in _/usr/man/man1_ or have no source in _/usr/src_:
+
+*cd /usr/bin* *whereis -u -ms -M /usr/man/man1 -S /usr/src -f **
