       type - Writes a description of command type

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       type name...

       Interfaces  documented  on  this reference page conform to
       industry standards as follows:

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information
 about industry standards and associated tags.

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       None

OPERANDS    [Toc]    [Back]

       A name to be interpreted

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

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

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

RESTRICTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       For proper execution, 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).   If type is called in a separate utility execution
       environment, such as one of the  following  it  might  not
       produce accurate results.

       nohup type writer find . -type f | xargs type

EXIT STATUS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The following exit values are returned: Successful completion.
  An error occurred.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The following environment variables affect  the  execution
       of  type:  Provides a default value for the internationalization
 variables that are unset or null. If LANG is unset
       or  null,  the corresponding value from the default locale
       is used.  If any  of  the  internationalization  variables
       contains  an  invalid  setting,  the utility behaves as if
       none of the variables had been defined.  If set to a  nonempty
  string value, overrides the values of all the other
       internationalization variables.  Determines the locale for
       the  interpretation  of sequences of bytes of text data as
       characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to  multibyte
 characters in arguments).  Determines the locale that
       should be used to affect the format and contents of  diagnostic
 messages written to standard error.  Determines the
       location of  message  catalogues  for  the  processing  of
       LC_MESSAGES.  Determines the location of name.
