\section type type - indicate how a name would be interpreted if used as a command name
\subsection type-synopsis Synopsis
<tt>type [OPTIONS] name [name ...]</tt>
\subsection type-description Description
With no options, indicate how each name would be interpreted if used as a command name.
- \c -h or \c --help print this message
- \c -a or \c --all print all of possible definitions of the specified names
- \c -f or \c --no-functions suppresses function and builtin lookup
- \c -t or \c --type print a string which is one of alias, keyword, function, builtin, or file if name is an alias, shell reserved word, function, builtin, or disk file, respectively
- \c -p or \c --path either return the name of the disk file that would be executed if name were specified as a command name, or nothing if 'type -t name' would not return 'file'
- \c -P or \c --force-path either return the name of the disk file that would be executed if name were specified as a command name, or nothing no file with the specified name could be found in the PATH
\c type returns a zero exit status if the specified command was found,
otherwise the exit status is one.
\subsection type-example Example
<tt>type fg</tt> outputs the string 'fg is a shell builtin'.
