因为windows没有类似unix的which命令

• 现在实现尽量跨平台，且stb 风格的libwhich

build as program (view .h file as .c file)

> gcc -x c which.h -DLIBWHICH_MAIN -DLIBWHICH_IMPLEMENTATION> cl /DLIBWHICH_IMPLEMENTATION /DLIBWHICH_MAIN /Tcwhich.h /Fe:which.exe

build as lib (msvc for example)

> cl /DLIBWHICH_IMPLEMENTATION /Tcwhich.h /Fo:libwhich.obj> lib libwhich.obj /OUT:libwhich.lib

as lib usage

// probe.c#define LIBWHICH_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "which.h"
#include <stdio.h>int main() {char buffer[1024];char* path = libwhich("python", buffer, sizeof(buffer));if (path) {printf("找到python: %s\n", path);} else {printf("未找到python\n");}return 0;
