type [-afptP] name [name ...]

For each NAME, indicate how it would be interpreted if used as a command name.

If the -t option is used, type outputs a single word which is one of alias, keyword, function, builtin, file, if NAME is an alias, shell reserved word, shell function, shell builtin, disk file, or unfound, respectively.

If the -p flag is used, type either returns the name of the disk file that would be executed, or nothing if type -t NAME would not return file.

If the -a flag is used, type displays all of the places that contain an executable named file. This includes aliases, builtins, and functions, if and only if the -p flag is not also used.

The -f flag suppresses shell function lookup.

The -P flag forces a PATH search for each NAME, even if it is an alias, builtin, or function, and returns the name of the disk file that would be executed.

typeset [-afFirtx] [-p] name[=value] ...
