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.
HISTORY
The which
command appeared in
3.0BSD.
BUGS
This implementation does not expand csh(1) aliases, and is shell agnostic. This is really a feature.
