+/**
+ * Search the environment variable $PATH for an executable
+ * file whose name is the specified name. Slashes are ignored
+ * and treated as any other character. $PATH is searched
+ * for left to right, and ':' is used as the path-delimiter.
+ * If $PATH is not defined, a fallback value for $PATH will be
+ * used.
+ *
+ * $PATH is not inspected if `name` starts with './', '../', or '/'.
+ *
+ * This function was added because it was useful in implementing
+ * the `exec`-function family.
+ *
+ * This is a slibc extension.
+ *
+ * @etymology Variant of (searchpath) that takes (2) arguments.
+ *
+ * @param name The name of the sought executable. Must not be `NULL`.
+ * @param fallback Value to use instead of the value of $PATH, if
+ * path is not defined. If `NULL` the fall rules for
+ * the `exec`-functions are used: The current working
+ * directory, and the default value for $PATH.
+ * @return The pathname of the sought file, `NULL` on error,
+ * or if not found. Files that are not executable
+ * are (almost) ignored.
+ *
+ * @throws ENOMEM The process cannot allocate enough memory.
+ * @throws ENOENT There are no directories listed in $PATH, or
+ * the sought file is not exist inside $PATH.
+ * @throws EACCES None of the candidates (with at least one candidate)
+ * are executable by the current user.
+ * @throws Any exception defined for access(3), except for `EROFS`,
+ * these when encountered, the search is aborted, unless
+ * the error is `ENOENT` or `EACCES`.
+ *
+ * @since Always.
