@sigma-db/lookpath v0.1.1

Lookpath

This package exports a single function lookpath that operates similar to the commands which and where on UNIX and Windows, respectively, but does not need to spawn them as a child process (and parse their output), making the operation more performant.

Inspiration was drawn from https://golang.org/src/os/exec/lp_unix.go and https://golang.org/src/os/exec/lp_windows.go from the Go standard library.

Installation

Run npm i @sigma-db/lookpath to install the package to your project's dependencies.

Usage

import { lookpath } from "@sigma-db/lookpath";

try {
    const gitPath = await lookpath("git");
} catch {
    // Command is either not in the environment's path or not executable...
}
