Function which_global

pub fn which_global<T: AsRef<OsStr>>(binary_name: T) -> Result<PathBuf>

Find an executable binary’s path by name, ignoring cwd.

If given an absolute path, returns it if the file exists and is executable.

Does not resolve relative paths.

If given a string without path separators, looks for a file named binary_name at each directory in $PATH and if it finds an executable file there, returns it.

Example

use which::which;
use std::path::PathBuf;

let result = which::which_global("rustc").unwrap();
assert_eq!(result, PathBuf::from("/usr/bin/rustc"));
