Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This script requires PHP 5.6, or newer.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This package uses [composer](https://getcomposer.org) so you can install it using composer. Composer can install the command globally using:

```
composer global require nubs/which-cli
```

This will install it to your `$COMPOSER_HOME` directory (typically `$HOME/.composer`). The `which` binary will be symlinked to `$COMPOSER_HOME/vendor/bin/which` (e.g., `$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin/which`).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The included `which` executable works much like the standard which utility. It takes an arbitrary number of parameters and outputs the path to each of them.

```
$ which more vim foo
/bin/more
/usr/bin/vim
foo not found
```

For windows users, composer will create a `which.bat` script in its bin directory that can be executed in much the same way as on a POSIX system. Alternatively, a `which.bat` script is included. You may need to add the `bin` directory from this repository to your `PATH` environment variable to be able to access the command globally.
