 3 Option Summary
 ****************
 
 '--all'
 '-a'
      Print all matching executables in 'PATH', not just the first.
 
 '--read-alias'
 '-i'
      Read aliases from stdin, reporting matching ones on stdout.  This
      is useful in combination with using an alias for which itself.  For
      example
      'alias which='alias | which -i''.
 
 '--skip-alias'
      Ignore option '--read-alias', if any.  This is useful to explicity
      search for normal binaries, while using the '--read-alias' option
      in an alias or function for which.
 
 '--read-functions'
      Read shell function definitions from stdin, reporting matching ones
      on stdout.  This is useful in combination with using a shell
      function for which itself.  For example:
      'which() { declare -f | which --read-functions $@ }
      export -f which'
 
 '--skip-functions'
      Ignore option '--read-functions', if any.  This is useful to
      explicity search for normal binaries, while using the
      '--read-functions' option in an alias or function for which.
 
 '--skip-dot'
      Skip directories in 'PATH' that start with a dot.
 
 '--skip-tilde'
      Skip directories in 'PATH' that start with a tilde and executables
      which reside in the 'HOME' directory.
 
 '--show-dot'
      If a directory in 'PATH' starts with a dot and a matching
      executable was found for that path, then print "./programname"
      rather than the full path.
 
 '--show-tilde'
      Output a tilde when a directory matches the 'HOME' directory.  This
      option is ignored when which is invoked as root.
 
 '--tty-only'
      Stop processing options on the right if not on tty.
 
 '--version, -v, -V'
      Print version information on standard output then exit
      successfully.
 
 '--help'
      Print usage information on standard output then exit successfully.
