\subsection type-description Description
|
|
|
|
With no options, \c type indicates how each \c NAME would be interpreted if used as a command name.
|
|
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
|
|
- \c -h or \c --help prints help and then exits.
|
|
- \c -a or \c --all prints all of possible definitions of the specified names.
|
|
- \c -f or \c --no-functions suppresses function and builtin lookup.
|
|
- \c -t or \c --type prints <tt>keyword</tt>, <tt>function</tt>, <tt>builtin</tt>, or <tt>file</tt> if \c NAME is a shell reserved word, function, builtin, or disk file, respectively.
|
|
- \c -p or \c --path returns the name of the disk file that would be executed, or nothing if 'type -t name' would not return 'file'.
|
|
- \c -P or \c --force-path returns the name of the disk file that would be executed, or nothing no file with the specified name could be found in the <tt>$PATH</tt>.
|
|
|
|
\c type sets the exit status to 0 if the specified command was found,
|
|
and 1 if it could not be found.
|
|
|
|
\subsection type-example Example
|
|
|
|
<tt>type fg</tt> outputs the string 'fg is a shell builtin'.
