_N_A_M_E
          which          Locates a file and displays its
                         pathname.


SYNTAX
          string which _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e__l_i_s_t

          list _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e__l_i_s_t


ARGUMENTS
          _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e__l_i_s_t  List of files to locate.


DESCRIPTION
          Displays the location of the specified files.  This
          command uses the search_path to find the location of
          the files.  This command can be a useful prelude to
          read_db or link_design, because it shows how these
          commands expand filenames.  The which command can be
          used to verify that a file exists in the system.

          If an absolute pathname is given, the command searches
          for the file in the given path and returns the full
          pathname of the file.


EXAMPLES
          The following examples are based on the following
          search_path.


                         prompt> set search_path "/u/foo
                         /u/foo/test"


          The following command searches for the file name foo1
          in the search_path.



                         prompt> which foo1
                         /u/foo/foo1


          The following command searches for files foo2, foo3.



                         prompt> which {foo2 foo3}
                         /u/foo/test/foo2 /u/foo/test/foo3
