DESCRIPTION

Use the whatis command to display information known by Prism about a specified name in the program.

Prism displays type information using the syntax of the source language (the language of the definition, not the declaration). In programs written in a mixture of Fortran and C, Prism displays each declaration in the appropriate language.

When the struct keyword is present, Prism treats name as a type name. The struct keyword resolves ambiguities where there are types and variables with the same name.

When issued in MP Prism, this command can take a pset qualifier. If used with a qualifier, it applies to the pset you specify. If used without a qualifier, it applies to the current pset. See " Using Pset Qualifiers" for more information on pset qualifiers.
