type(1) General Commands Manual type(1) NAME type - Writes a description of command type SYNOPSIS type name... STANDARDS Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry stan- dards as follows: type: XPG4, XPG4-UNIX Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about in- dustry standards and associated tags. OPTIONS None OPERANDS A name to be interpreted DESCRIPTION The type utility indicates how each argument would be interpreted if used as a command name. The standard output of type contains information about each parameter. The information provided identifies the operand as a shell built-in, a function, an alias or keyword, and where applicable, displays the com- mand's pathname. RESTRICTIONS For proper execution, type must be aware of the contents of the current shell execution environment (such as the lists of commands, functions and built-ins processed by hash). If type is called in a separate utility execution environment, such as one of the following it might not produce accurate results. nohup type writer find . -type f | xargs type EXIT STATUS The following exit values are returned: Successful completion. An er- ror occurred. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES The following environment variables affect the execution of type: Pro- vides a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value from the default locale is used. If any of the internationalization vari- ables contains an invalid setting, the utility behaves as if none of the variables had been defined. If set to a non-empty string value, overrides the values of all the other internationalization variables. Determines the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to multi- byte characters in arguments). Determines the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error. Determines the location of message catalogues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES. Determines the location of name. SEE ALSO Commands: command(1), hash(1) Standards: standards(5) type(1)
