WHICH(1-BSD) RISC/os Reference Manual WHICH(1-BSD)
NAME
which - locate a program file including aliases and paths
SYNOPSIS
which [ name ] ...
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: csh now has a builtin version of which that works
similar to the which described below. See the manual page
for csh(1) for more information. The Bourne shell (/bin/sh)
also has a similar command called type.
Which 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.
FILES
~/.cshrc source of aliases and path values
DIAGNOSTICS
A diagnostic is given for names which are aliased to more
than a single word, or if an executable file with the argu-
ment name was not found in the path.
BUGS
Must be executed by a csh, since only csh's know about
aliases.
