The command "whereis" is used to locate the binary, source code, and manual page files for a specific command or program in Unix-like operating systems.
In the provided command "whereis -u -m *", the options -u and -m are specified.
- The "-u" option specifies to search for only executable files.
- The "-m" option specifies to search for only manual pages.
The "*" is a wildcard character that stands for any character or sequence of characters. It is used here to indicate that the command should search for all files in the system.
So, when you execute the command "whereis -u -m *", it will search for all executable files and manual pages in the system. The output will include the locations of the found files.
