12 Usage: which [options] [--] COMMAND [...]
13 Write the full path of COMMAND(s) to standard output.
14
15 --version, -[vV] Print version and exit successfully.
16 --help, Print this help and exit successfully.
17 --skip-dot Skip directories in PATH that start with a dot.
18 --skip-tilde Skip directories in PATH that start with a tilde.
19 --show-dot Don't expand a dot to current directory in output.
20 --show-tilde Output a tilde for HOME directory for non-root.
21 --tty-only Stop processing options on the right if not on tty.
22 --all, -a Print all matches in PATH, not just the first
23 --read-alias, -i Read list of aliases from stdin.
24 --skip-alias Ignore option --read-alias; don't read stdin.
25 --read-functions Read shell functions from stdin.
26 --skip-functions Ignore option --read-functions; don't read stdin.
27
28 Recommended use is to write the output of (alias; declare -f) to standard
29 input, so that which can show aliases and shell functions. See which(1) for
30 examples.
31
32 If the options --read-alias and/or --read-functions are specified then the
33 output can be a full alias or function definition, optionally followed by
34 the full path of each command used inside of those.
