This is a very useful system command used to find out how many different versions of the same command or file you have strewn throughout your [[path]] and in which order they will be found if you don't specify a path when asking for one. For example:

'''ph34r#''' where time
'''time: shell built-in'''
'''/usr/bin/time'''
'''ph34r#'''

See also [[which]] for just finding out where the first returned program name from your [[path]] directory is without bothering to list all the others.
