names refer to executables that are searched the same way shells do: relative
to the working directory if they contain a "/" character, otherwise in
.BR $PATH .
+PATH may also refer to shared libraries, in which case all proceses that
+map it at runtime would be selected for probing.
If the PATH string contains wildcards as in the MPATTERN case, then
standard globbing is performed to find all matching paths. In this
case, the
environment variable is not used.

hierarchy associated with the target process.
