which(1) General Commands Manual which(1)
Name
which - locate program file
Syntax
which [name...]
Description
The command takes a list of names and looks for the files which would be executed had these names been given as commands. Each argument is
expanded if it is aliased, and searched for along the user's path. Both aliases and path are taken from the user's .cshrc file.
Restrictions
Must be executed by a csh, since only csh's know about aliases.
Diagnostics
A diagnostic is given for names which are aliased to more than a single word, or if an executable file with the argument name was not found
in the path.
Files
~/.cshrc source of aliases and path values
