NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       which - Locates a program file including aliases and paths

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       which program...

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The which command takes a list of program names and  looks
       for  the  files that would be executed if these names were
       given as commands.

       Each program argument is expanded if  it  is  aliased  and
       searched  for  along your path.  Both the aliases and path
       are taken from your file.  If you do not have a file,  the
       path is the current PATH from your environment.

       The  which  command  is written in csh script language and
       only works in the C shell.  The  ksh  program  offers  the
       built-in  commands  type  and whence that perform the same
       function as which.  The sh built-in command type can  also
       be used.

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]

       Read at beginning of execution by each shell.

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

       A diagnostic is given if an executable file with the argument
 name was not found in the path.
