I need to control my proxy.pac file in OS X, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

I used 

whereis proxy.pac

from terminal too — the whole story short: I want to find the path to a file in Mac OSX.

  • Has this been given to you as a URL? Your question is not very clear at all. What is the "something"?

  • Why don't you ask for your real problem rather than your attempted solution? You can try to find files named proxy.pac with sudo find / -iname "proxy.pac" …

I don't think you're asking the right question here. By default, there is no file in OS X named proxy.pac. Normally, a .pac (proxy auto-config) file is created by a network administrator and either a) installed on client computers (and if you'd done this, you'd hopefully know where you installed it); or b) loaded from a network server by the client.

If you have been given a .pac file (or a URL to load one from), you can configure OS X to use it in System Preferences -> Network preference pane -> select the active network service (interface) in the sidebar -> Advanced -> Proxies tab -> Automatic proxy configuration.

Try using Spotlight to find the file, if even that doesn't work, try running locate proxy.pac from the Terminal. If that even doesn't work, try doing sudo find / -name "*proxy.pac*".
