(either absolute or relative to the current directory). Otherwise, it
returns PROGNAME unmodified.

/* Looks up a program in the given PATH-like string.
The PATH argument consists of a list of directories, separated by ':' or
(on native Windows) by ';'. An empty PATH element designates the current
directory. A null PATH is equivalent to an empty PATH, that is, to the
singleton list that contains only the current directory.
If DIRECTORY is not NULL, all relative filenames (i.e. PROGNAME when it
contains a slash, and the PATH elements) are considered relative to
DIRECTORY instead of relative to the current directory of this process.
Determines the pathname that would be called by execlp/execvp of PROGNAME.
- If successful, it returns a pathname containing a slash (either absolute
or relative to the current directory). The returned string can be used
with either execl/execv or execlp/execvp. It is freshly malloc()ed if it
is != PROGNAME.
- Otherwise, it sets errno and returns NULL.
Specific errno values include:
- ENOENT: means that the program's file was not found.
- EACCES: means that the program's file cannot be accessed (due to some
issue with one of the ancestor directories) or lacks the execute
permissions.
- ENOMEM: means out of memory.
If OPTIMIZE_FOR_EXEC is true, the function saves some work, under the
assumption that the resulting pathname will not be accessed directly,
only through execl/execv or execlp/execvp.
Here, a "slash" means:
- On POSIX systems excluding Cygwin: a '/',
- On Windows, OS/2, DOS platforms: a '/' or '\'. */
