NAME
     which — locate a program file in the users $PATH environment variable

SYNOPSIS
     which [-a] name [...]

DESCRIPTION
     which takes a list of names and looks for the files which would be exe‐
     cuted 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 agnos‐
     tic.  This is really a feature.
