# NAME
#    findcmd - search for a command
#
# SYNOPSIS
#    findcmd command
#
# DESCRIPTION
#    This command searches the directories listed in the
#    PATH variable for the command.  It makes a reasonable
#    attempt to find the same command as would be found by
#    the shell, except that it does not find functions or
#    built-in commands:
#
#    1. If the command name contains a /, the PATH variable
#       is not used.
#    2. The directories in the PATH variable are searched in
#       order, from left to right.
#    3. Files without execute access are ignored even if the
#       file name matches the command name.
#    4. The search concludes when the first match is found.
#
# RETURN VALUE
#    0    Command was found
#    1    Usage error
#    2    Command was not found
