Hello fellow nixers,
This thread is about this:

Code:
~ > which which

which: shell built-in command

 ~ > type -a which  

which is a shell builtin

which is /usr/bin/which

 ~ > type -a type

type is a shell builtin

 ~ > type -a whereis

whereis is /usr/bin/whereis

 ~ > which cat

/usr/bin/cat

 ~ > type -a cat

cat is /usr/bin/cat

 ~ > whereis cat

cat: /usr/bin/cat /usr/share/man/man1/cat.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/cat.1p.gz

Let's list all possible ways to find out where a program is, be it built in or not, POSIX or not.
