Synopsis:
|
||||
$which(<file> [<dir>[:<dir> ...]])
|
||||
|
||||
Technical:
|
||||
This function returns the full pathname of the specified filename. The
|
||||
function will search the client's current LOAD_PATH for the file. In
|
||||
addition, a list of colon-delimited directories may be specified, which
|
||||
will be searched if the file is not found in the LOAD_PATH.
|
||||
|
||||
Practical:
|
||||
This function tries to find the location of a particular file. This
|
||||
makes it suitable for LOAD and STUB commands, allowing a file to be
|
||||
loaded, even if its exact location is not known.
|
||||
|
||||
Returns:
|
||||
the canonical path of the file, or nothing if it isn't found
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
$which(some_file) shows full path of file
|
||||
$which(does_not_exist) returns nothing, file dies not exist
|
||||
$which(some_file /bin) search in /bin for some_file too
|
||||
