Linux / Unix Bash Shell List All Builtin Commands
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
Builtin commands contained within the bash shell itself. How do I list all built-in bash commands on Linux / Apple OS X / *BSD / Unix like operating systems without reading large size bash man page?
|
||
|
||
A shell builtin is nothing but command or a function, called from a shell, that is executed directly in the shell itself. The bash shell executes the command directly, without invoking another program. You can view information for Bash built-ins with help command. There are different types of built-in commands.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### built-in command types
|
||
|
||
1. Bourne Shell Builtins: Builtin commands inherited from the Bourne Shell.
|
||
2. Bash Builtins: Table of builtins specific to Bash.
|
||
3. Modifying Shell Behavior: Builtins to modify shell attributes and optional behavior.
|
||
4. Special Builtins: Builtin commands classified specially by POSIX.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### How to see all bash builtins
|
||
|
||
Type the following command:
|
||
```
|
||
$ help
|
||
$ help | less
|
||
$ help | grep read
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Sample outputs:
|
||
```
|
||
GNU bash, version 4.1.5(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
|
||
These shell commands are defined internally. Type `help' to see this list.
|
||
Type `help name' to find out more about the function `name'.
|
||
Use `info bash' to find out more about the shell in general.
|
||
Use `man -k' or `info' to find out more about commands not in this list.
|
||
|
||
A star (*) next to a name means that the command is disabled.
