type [options] commands
Report absolute pathname of programs invoked for

Consider all subsequent strings to be arguments, not options.
Print all occurrences of command, not just
that which would be invoked.
Suppress shell function lookup.
Print the hashed value of command, which
may differ from the first appearance of
command in the PATH.
Determine and state if command is an
alias, keyword, function, built-in, or file.
Force a PATH search for each name, even if -t would not return a value of “file” for the name.
