A go library to find paths of executables
package main
import "github.com/jonhadfield/findexec"
func main() {
// find an executable called "diff" without specifying paths which will force
// searching of the system paths found in environment variable 'PATH'
_ = findexec.Find("diff", "")
// find an executable called "bash" in specific paths
_ = findexec.Find("bash", "/home/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin")
