Message-ID: <54A7136C.1060102@eastlink.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150102212422.3a761af5@ntlworld.com>

Another little gotcha:

    $ whence -s /usr/bin/zsh
    /usr/bin/zsh -> /usr/local/bin/zsh-5.0.7-165-g2194da1

    $ whence -sa /usr/bin/zsh
    (nothing)


... why would the '-a' switch kill the '-s' switch?

But only sometimes:

    $ whence -as zsh

    /usr/local/bin/zsh -> /usr/local/bin/zsh-5.0.7-165-g2194da1
    /usr/bin/zsh -> /usr/local/bin/zsh-5.0.7-165-g2194da1
    /bin/zsh -> /usr/local/bin/zsh-5.0.7-165-g2194da1

... with the broader search pattern, '-as' is happy to show the symlink.
