WHICH(1) General Commands Manual WHICH(1)
NAME
which - examine $PATH to see which file will be executed
SYNOPSIS
which name
EXAMPLES
which a.out # Tells which a.out will be executed
DESCRIPTION
The $PATH shell variable controls the MINIX search rules. If a command a.out is given, the shell first tries to find an executable file in
the working directory. If that fails, it looks in various system directories, such as /bin and /usr/bin. The which command makes the same
search and gives the absolute path of the program that will be chosen, followed by other occurrences of the file name along the path.
