NAME
which - examine $PATH to see which file will be executed

SYNOPSIS
which name

EXAMPLES

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.
