findExecutable()

static ExecutableFinder::findExecutable ( $path, $name, $versionInfo = false )

Parameters

string | string[]	$names	Array of possible names.
array | bool	$versionInfo	Default: false or array with two members: 0 => Parameter to run for version check, e.g. '–version' 1 => String to compare the output with

getPossibleBinPaths()

static ExecutableFinder::getPossibleBinPaths ( )

staticprotected

Get an array of likely places we can find executables.

Check a bunch of known Unix-like defaults, as well as the PATH environment variable (which should maybe make it work for Windows?)

Returns

array
