zsh implements ksh's whence with a few extensions, but also provides a which alias for the csh junkies and type/command -v/V for POSIX compliance which are just the same command but with different default behaviour.

• which is whence -c (c for csh)
• type is whence -v (more verbose whence)
• whereis is whence -ca
• POSIX command -v is like whence
• POSIX command -V is like whence -v

You'll find some more information (though in a bit of a messy way, sorry) at Why not use "which"? What to use then?
