NAME

       whiff - like which, but finds the first of all the given alternatives

VERSION

       version 0.005

DESCRIPTION

       which is a useful utility, found on most unix systems.  It gives you the absolute path for
       the first occurance of a program in your path.  Unfortunately, it does two stupid things:
       first, if it can't find one, it prints an error message to stdout; secondly, if you give
       it multiple arguments, it assumes you want one line per argument, each like calling which
       individually.

       whiff assumes that all the arguments form a best-first list of alternatives, and only
       prints the path to the first alternative found in the path.  If none is found, it prints
       an error (to stderr!) and exits with an error code.

USAGE

        whiff <command ... >
