r""" %which <cmd> => search PATH for files matching cmd. Also scans aliases.
Traverses PATH and prints all files (not just executables!) that match the
pattern on command line. Probably more useful in finding stuff
interactively than 'which', which only prints the first matching item.
Also discovers and expands aliases, so you'll see what will be executed
when you call an alias.
Example:
[~]|62> %which d
d -> ls -F --color=auto
== c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe
c:\cygwin\bin\d.exe
[~]|64> %which diff*
diff3 -> diff3
== c:\cygwin\bin\diff3.exe
diff -> diff
== c:\cygwin\bin\diff.exe
c:\cygwin\bin\diff.exe
c:\cygwin\bin\diff3.exe
