# oowhereis(1)

OOC file finder

## NAME

oowhereis - OOC file finder

## SYNOPSIS

**oowhereis** \[*options*\] *\<file-name\>*

## DESCRIPTION

**oowhereis** searches the directories listed in the **PATHS** sections of the initialization files for a matching file name.  The full path (including the directory part) of the first file found is written to *stdout*. If a RCS master file is found, the name of the associated working file is returned by default, even the working file does not exist at the time of the query.

## OPTIONS

- **--rcs-master, -r**

  If a RCS master file is found, but no associated working file, return the name of the master.

- **--config \<file\>**

  Use given file name for the primary initialization file.  An empty name disables parsing of the default initialization file.

- **--include-config \<file\>**

  Include the given initialization file in addition to the default initialization file.

- **--version**

  Write compiler version and exit.

- **--help, -h**

  Write short usage summary and exit.

## ENVIRONMENT

*OOC\_HOME* holds the name of the primary initialization file.

## DIAGNOSTICS

Exit status is 0 if a matching file is found, and 1 otherwise.
