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 3 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, fol-
     lowed by other occurrences of the file name along the path.
