"strings" is nice, but you could also use "truss" for that:

$ truss /usr/sfw/bin/wget 2>&1 | grep wgetrc
stat64("/etc/wgetrc", 0xFFBFE8C0)               = 0
open64("/etc/wgetrc", O_RDONLY)                 = 3
stat64("/home/martin/.wgetrc", 0xFFBFE860)      Err#2 ENOENT

(In [t]csh the command is "truss /usr/sfw/bin/wget |& grep wgetrc").

Martin.
