which(1)               (BSD Compatibility Package )                which(1)


   NAME
         which - locate a command; display its pathname or alias

   SYNOPSIS
         /usr/ucb/which [ filename ] ...

   DESCRIPTION
         which takes a list of names and looks for the files which would be
         executed had these names been given as commands.  Each argument is
         expanded if it is aliased, and searched for along the user's path.
         Both aliases and path are taken from the user's .cshrc file.

   FILES
         ~/.cshrc            source of aliases and path values

   SEE ALSO
         csh(1), ksh(1), sh(1) in the User's Reference Manual.

   DIAGNOSTICS
         A diagnostic is given for names which are aliased to more than a
         single word, or if an executable file with the argument name was not
         found in the path.

   NOTES
         Only aliases and paths from ~/.cshrc are used; importing from the
         current environment is not attempted.

         which must be executed by csh(1), since only csh knows about aliases.
         If you are using sh instead of csh, whence -v provides similar
         functionality.

         To compensate for ~/.cshrc files in which aliases depend upon the
         prompt variable being set, which sets this variable.  If the ~/.cshrc
         produces output or prompts for input when prompt is set, which may
         produce some strange results.
