# which
Like the unix `which` utility.
Finds the first instance of a specified executable in the PATH environment variable. Does not cache the results, so `hash -r` is not needed when the PATH changes.
## USAGE
```javascript var which = require('which')
// async usage which('node', function (er, resolvedPath) { // er is returned if no "node" is found on the PATH // if it is found, then the absolute path to the exec is returned })
// or promise which('node').then(resolvedPath => { ... }).catch(er => { ... not found ... })
// sync usage // throws if not found var resolved = which.sync('node')
// if nothrow option is used, returns null if not found resolved = which.sync('node', {nothrow: true})
// Pass options to override the PATH and PATHEXT environment vars. which('node', { path: someOtherPath }, function (er, resolved) { if (er) throw er console.log('found at %j', resolved) }) ```
## CLI USAGE
Same as the BSD `which(1)` binary.
``` usage: which [-as] program ... ```
## OPTIONS
You may pass an options object as the second argument.
- `path`: Use instead of the `PATH` environment variable. - `pathExt`: Use instead of the `PATHEXT` environment variable. - `all`: Return all matches, instead of just the first one. Note that this means the function returns an array of strings instead of a single string.
