which
— locate a
program file in the user's PATH environment variable
which |
[-a ] name
[...] |
which
takes a list of names and looks for
the files which would be executed had these names been given as commands.
Each argument is searched for along the user's
PATH
.
If the -a
flag is given,
which
will continue to search the
PATH
until all instances of a program file are
found.
The which
command appeared in
3.0BSD.
This implementation does not expand csh(1) aliases, and is shell agnostic. This is really a feature.
