Useful path search diagnostic commands:

$ which -a curl
alias curl='curl -sSL'
        /usr/bin/curl
        /proc/cygdrive/c/.../cygwin32/bin/curl
        /proc/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/curl
$ man -awW curl		# -W also shows .../man/cat#/ pages
/usr/man/man1/curl.1.gz
/proc/cygdrive/c/.../cygwin32/usr/share/man/man1/curl.1.gz
$ whereis curl
curl: /usr/bin/curl.exe /usr/include/curl
/proc/cygdrive/c/.../cygwin32/bin/curl.exe
/proc/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/curl.exe /usr/share/man/man1/curl.1.gz
