NAME
       which - Locates a program file including aliases and paths

SYNOPSIS
       which program...

DESCRIPTION
       The which command takes a list of program names and looks for the files
       that would be executed if these names were given as commands.

       Each program argument is expanded if it is  aliased  and	 searched  for
       along  your  path.  Both the aliases and path are taken from your file.
       If you do not have a file, the path is the current PATH from your envi‐
       ronment.

       The  C  shell  includes	a  built  in which command.  The which command
       described here (written in csh script language) is provided for	shells
       such  as the Bourne shell that lack a built-in which command like the C
       shell.

FILES
       Read at beginning of execution by each shell.

DIAGNOSTICS
       A diagnostic is given if an executable file with the argument name  was
       not found in the path.
