Hi,

I am implementing a shell, and I am specifically calling execv to execute user commands.

My question is how should I provide the extension for the command entered by the user to execv? Ie, if the user enters "cat", how do I provide "/bin/cat" for the execv. I want to provide the extensions for all commands in /bin/ and elsewhere.

Thanks.
