A Node.js implementation of the Unix `which` utility, used to find the first matching executable name in the `PATH` environment variable. It includes async and sync APIs, can optionally return null instead of rejecting/throwing when not found, and lets you override `PATH` and `PATHEXT` (or return all matches).
