WHICH(1) BSD General Commands Manual WHICH(1)NAME
which -- locate a program file in the user's path
SYNOPSIS
which [-as] program ...
DESCRIPTION
The which utility takes a list of command names and searches the path for each executable file that would be run had these commands actually
been invoked.
The following options are available:
-a List all instances of executables found (instead of just the first one of each).
-s No output, just return 0 if all of the executables are found, or 1 if some were not found.
Some shells may provide a builtin which command which is similar or identical to this utility. Consult the builtin(1) manual page.
SEE ALSO builtin(1), csh(1), find(1), locate(1), whereis(1)HISTORY
The which command first appeared in FreeBSD 2.1.
AUTHORS
The which utility was originally written in Perl and was contributed by Wolfram Schneider <wosch@FreeBSD.org>. The current version of which
was rewritten in C by Daniel Papasian <dpapasia@andrew.cmu.edu>.

Please help as soon as possible

I can successfully create a builtin function, load it using the builtin -f command and get an output. However, I want to get/set values of KSH variables from within my built-in.

I'm looking for some suggestions on a command line utility I am making. I would like to use 'find' to locate some files and index the results so the user can choose the correct results from the list and push that input into an open command. A simple example below:
