NAME
which - locate a command
SYNOPSIS

cuted in the current environment, had its arguments been given as com-
mands in a strictly POSIX-conformant shell. It does this by searching
the PATH for executable files matching the names of the arguments. It
does not canonicalize path names.

EXIT STATUS
0 if all specified commands are found and executable
1 if one or more specified commands is nonexistent or not exe-
cutable
