Command: which - examine $PATH to see which file will be executed
Syntax: which name
Flags: (none)
Example: which a.out # Tells which a.out will be executed
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.
