How do i find all the places a command is used on redhat?

A command may be aliased, scripted or a binary.
Where is ls defined in PATH, function or alias? Here it's just the PATH
$ type -a ls ls is /bin/ls
Let's define an alias.
$ alias ls='ls -ltr'
Check with the type command again. Now it's an alias and in the PATH. The alias is referenced first.
$ type -a ls ls is aliased to `ls -ltr' ls is /bin/ls
