# File::Which
[](https://github.com/azawawi/raku-file-which/actions)
This is a Raku Object-oriented port of [File::Which (CPAN)](
https://metacpan.org/pod/File::Which).
File::Which finds the full or relative paths to an executable program on the
system. This is normally the function of which utility which is typically
implemented as either a program or a built in shell command. On some unfortunate
platforms, such as Microsoft Windows it is not provided as part of the core
operating system.
This module provides a consistent API to this functionality regardless of the
underlying platform.
```Raku
use File::Which :whence;
# All raku executables in PATH
say which('raku', :all);
# First executable in PATH
say which('raku');
# Same as which('raku')
say whence('raku');
```
## Installation
To install it using zef (a module management tool bundled with Rakudo Star):
```
$ zef install File::Which
```
## Testing
- To run tests:
```
$ prove --ext .rakutest -ve "raku -I."
```
- To run all tests including author tests (Please make sure
[Test::Meta](https://github.com/jonathanstowe/Test-META) is installed):
```
$ zef install Test::META
