+# whatis -- and implementation of the 10th Edition Unix sh builtin `whatis'
+#	    command.
+#
+# usage: whatis arg [...]
+#
+# For each argument, whatis prints the associated value as a parameter,
+# builtin, function, alias, or executable file as appropriate.  In each
+# case, the value is printed in a form which would yield the same value
+# if typed as input to the shell itself.
