shtool-path - GNU shtool command dealing with shell path variables

       This command deals with shell $PATH variables. It can find a program through one or more filenames given
       by one or more str arguments.  It prints the absolute filesystem path to the program displayed on
       "stdout" plus an exit code of 0 if it was really found.

        #   shell script
        awk=`shtool path -p "${PATH}:." gawk nawk awk`
        perl=`shtool path -m perl`
        cpp=`shtool path -m cpp`
        revpath=`shtool path -r path/to/subdir`

       The  GNUshtoolpath command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1998
       for Apache. It was later taken over into GNUshtool.
