22 $Usage
23 $name searches each directory specified in the PATH environment variable
24 for executable files that match the specified patterns. Patterns are
25 given as Korn shell filename patterns. They are surrounded by implicit
26 '*' characters, so that \"foo\" will match any executble file whose name
27 contains contains \"foo\". This can be overridden by using '^' and '$' to
28 force a match to start at the beginning and end at the end of a filename
29 respectively. Characters that are special to the shell must generally
30 be protected from the shell by surrounding them with quotes.
31 Examples:
32 $name foo
33 lists all executable files in PATH that contain foo.
34 $name '^b*sh$'
35 lists all executable files in PATH that start with b and end with sh.
36 An error message is printed if a no matching file is found for a pattern.
37 Options:
38 -h: Print this help.
39 -x: Find exact matches only; equivalent to putting ^ and $ at the start
40 and end of each pattern."
