Package Exports
- which
- which/lib/index.js
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (which) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
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
const which = require('which')
// async usage
// rejects if not found
const resolved = await which('node')
// if nothrow option is used, returns null if not found
const resolvedOrNull = await which('node', { nothrow: true })
// sync usage
// throws if not found
const resolved = which.sync('node')
// if nothrow option is used, returns null if not found
const resolvedOrNull = which.sync('node', { nothrow: true })
// Pass options to override the PATH and PATHEXT environment vars.
await which('node', { path: someOtherPath, pathExt: somePathExt })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 thePATHenvironment variable.pathExt: Use instead of thePATHEXTenvironment 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.
