I've noticed that the whereis(1) command gives multiple results for |
| 2 |
some queries. For instance, "whereis lilo" gives me |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
kevin@treat ~ $ whatis lilo |
| 5 |
lilo (8) - install boot loader |
| 6 |
lilo.conf [lilo] (5) - configuration file for lilo |
| 7 |
lilo (8) - install boot loader |
| 8 |
lilo.conf [lilo] (5) - configuration file for lilo |
| 9 |
lilo (8) - install boot loader |
| 10 |
lilo.conf [lilo] (5) - configuration file for lilo |

kevin@treat ~ $ |

I surmise from this that there are multiple copies of the man pages |
| 14 |
in various historical hiding places. However, I can't get whereis |
| 15 |
or anything else to tell me where it found them. Is there some |
| 16 |
neat way to find the locations? I'd like to figure out which ones |
| 17 |
correspond to my actual software and to ditch the others. |
