whereis command examples
When you want to find out where a specific Unix command exists (for
example, where does ls command exists?), you can execute the following command.
$ whereis ls
ls: /bin/ls /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1p/ls.1p.gz
When you want to search an executable from a path other than the whereis
default path, you can use -B option and give path as argument to it. This
searches for the executable lsmk in the /tmp directory, and displays it, if it
is available.
$ whereis -u -B /tmp -f lsmk
lsmk: /tmp/lsmk
