Which (command)

In computing, which is a command for various operating systems used to identify the location of executables. The command is available in Unix and Unix-like systems, the AROS shell, for FreeDOS and for Microsoft Windows. The functionality of the which command is similar to some implementations of the type command. POSIX specifies a command named command that also covers this functionality.

The functionality of the which command is similar to some implementations of the type command. POSIX specifies a command named command that also covers this functionality. ==Implementations== ===Microsoft Windows, MS-DOS, FreeDOS=== The command is available as a separate package for Microsoft Windows as part of the GnuWin32 project and the UnxUtils collection of native Win32 ports of common GNU Unix-like utilities. Windows also includes the similar where.exe command. The same functionality is available in MS-DOS, but not Windows, as the built-in TRUENAME command. In PowerShell, the functionality is provided by the Get-Command Cmdlet. The FreeDOS version was developed by Trane Francks. ===AmigaOS compatible=== The command is used to find and print the location of a specific program. Inputs: FILE – Specifies the command to search for NORES – Resident programs are not included in the search RES – Only resident programs are considered ALL – Will find all locations of the FILE, which may cause the printing of the same location several times ==References== ==External links==
