is this what you're looking for?

#!/bin/rc
# which

if (~ $#* 0){
	echo 'usage: which file...'
	exit 'usage'
}

for (i in `{ns | awk '$NF == "/bin" {print $(NF -1)}'})
	if (test -f $i/$1)
		echo $i/$1

i think steve wants a function or script that, given a path,
works out from the ns entries which device or server contains
the path.

Type "ns" at the shell?  That'll tell you how your namespace was built
right?  Or am I thinking Inferno again?

[9fans] reverse engineering binds

[Steve Simon]

I want to discover where a file has come from, I understand that
it will probably lead back to a /srv descriptor or a network connection
but that is good enough. I need to walk back up the cd and the list of binds
in the output of ns(1).

I think this needs care to really get it right, so, has anyone got some
C or rc that does this or shall I just fumble around until I sort it out
for myself :-)

Thanks guys,
