which

which [commands ]

List which files are executed if the named commands are run as a command. which reads the user's .cshrc file (using the source built-in command), checking aliases and searching the path variable. Users of the Bourne or Korn shells can use the built-in type command as an alternative. (See type , Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 .)

Example

$ which file ls


/usr/bin/file
ls:      aliased to ls -sFC
