How does this differ from:
* the 'which' utility in debianutils (which is Essential: yes)
* the 'which' builtin in shells that have copied it from csh (including zsh)
* command -v, which exists on every POSIX system supporting the User
Portability Utilities option, and in particular is a builtin in dash
* command -V, a more verbose form of command -v, which exists on every POSIX
system supporting the User Portability Utilities option, and in particular
is a builtin in dash
and how/when is it be better or more useful than those?
