PROGRAM:

NAME


type — write a description of command type

SYNOPSIS


type name...

DESCRIPTION


The type utility shall indicate how each argument would be interpreted if used as a
command name.

OPTIONS


None.

OPERANDS


The following operand shall be supported:

name A name to be interpreted.

STDIN


Not used.

INPUT FILES


None.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES


The following environment variables shall affect the execution of type:

LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or
null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Section 8.2,
Internationalization Variables for the precedence of internationalization
variables used to determine the values of locale categories.)

LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other
internationalization variables.

LC_CTYPE Determine 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).

LC_MESSAGES
Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of
diagnostic messages written to standard error.

NLSPATH Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of LC_MESSAGES.

PATH Determine the location of name, as described in the Base Definitions volume of
POSIX.1‐2008, Chapter 8, Environment Variables.

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS


Default.

STDOUT


The standard output of type contains information about each operand in an unspecified
format. The information provided typically identifies the operand as a shell built-in,
function, alias, or keyword, and where applicable, may display the operand's pathname.

STDERR


The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.

OUTPUT FILES


None.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION


None.

EXIT STATUS


The following exit values shall be returned:

0 Successful completion.

>0 An error occurred.

CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS


Default.

The following sections are informative.

APPLICATION USAGE


Since 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), it is always
provided as a shell regular built-in. If it is called in a separate utility execution
environment, such as one of the following:

nohup type writer
find . −type f | xargs type

it might not produce accurate results.

EXAMPLES


None.

RATIONALE


None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS


None.
