# which(1)

    NAME
         which - examine $PATH to see which file will be executed

    SYNOPSIS
         which name

    EXAMPLES

         which a.out         # Tells which a.out will be executed

    DESCRIPTION

         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.
