Which (command)
In computing, codice_1 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. Implementations. Unix, Unix-like. The command takes one or more arguments; for each of these arguments, it prints the full path of the executable to stdout that would have been executed if this argument had been  entered into the shell. It does this by searching for an executable or script in the directories listed in the environment variable PATH. The "which" command is part of most Unix-like computers. It is also part of the C Shell. A which command first appeared in 3BSD. Carlo Wood developed the GNU implementation used in most Linux-based operating systems. On FreeBSD, the which utility was originally written in Perl by Wolfram Schneider. The current version of which was rewritten by Daniel Papasian using the C programming language. 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 codice_2 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:
