What command would show what exact incantation is used? Ie, what 
path/binary, or what alias?

which tarx?


For instance:

cer@Telcontar:~> which l
which: no l in 
(/home/cer/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin)
cer@Telcontar:~>


But it is an alias in my system
