+
+ 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 '\'. */
