of the string following this marker, up to a null character, newline, double
quote, backslash or
.Dq \&\*[Gt]
character.

option is specified, only the first occurence of an idenfication string in
each file is printed.

The
.Nm
utility exits 0 if any matches were found, and 1 otherwise.
.Sh STANDARDS

command which is part of
.Tn SCCS ,
and may not behave exactly the same as that
