+/* 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 '\'. */
