shell_builtins — Shell Command Interpreter Built-in Functions
Description
The sh(1), csh(1), and ksh(1) shell command interpreters have special built-in functions that are interpreted by the shell as commands. Many of these built-in commands are implemented by more than one of the shells, and some are unique to a particular shell. The commands are listed in the following table.
