  6. (38 points) Write a program called where that takes one or more command names as an argument. On output, it prints the full path names of all programs with the command name in the user's path. Output should look like:
    	dec24 % where mail sh
    	mail: /usr/bin/mail* /usr/ucb/mail* /var/spool/mail
    	sh: /bin/sh@ -> /sbin/sh*
    
    If the user could execute a listed program, put a "*" after it (as above). If any of the files are symbolic links, put "@ -> " followed by what it refers to. Please use this format exactly; we will use an automated script for grading, and you will lose points if you don't! Also, you must use C or C++ for this program. (Hint: You do not need to worry about aliases.)
