| 14 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 15 | .I Which | |
| 16 | takes a list of names and looks for the files which would be | |
| 17 | executed had these names been given as commands. | |
| 18 | Each argument is expanded if it is aliased, | |
| 19 | and searched for along the user's path. | |
| 20 | Both aliases and path are taken from the user's \&.cshrc file. | |
| 21 | .SH FILES | |
| 22 | .ta 1i | |
| 23 | ~/\&.cshrc source of aliases and path values | |
| 24 | .SH DIAGNOSTICS | |
| 25 | A diagnostic is given for names which are aliased to more than a single | |
| 26 | word, | |
| 27 | or if an executable file with the argument name was not found in the path. | |
| 28 | .SH BUGS | |
| e921e2fa | 29 | Must be executed by a csh, since only csh's know about aliases. |
