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 com‐
       mand 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.
