【转】linux之type命令
转自: http://codingstandards.iteye.com/blog/831504
用途说明
type命令用来显示指定命令的类型。一个命令的类型可以是如下之一
- alias 别名
- keyword 关键字,Shell保留字
- function 函数,Shell函数
- builtin 内建命令,Shell内建命令
- file 文件,磁盘文件,外部命令
- unfound 没有找到
它是Linux系统的一种自省机制,知道了是那种类型,我们就可以针对性的获取帮助。比如内建命令可以用help命令来获取帮助,外部命令用man或者info来获取帮助。
常用参数
type命令的基本使用方式就是直接跟上命令名字。
type -a可以显示所有可能的类型,比如有些命令如pwd是shell内建命令,也可以是外部命令。
type -p只返回外部命令的信息,相当于which命令。
type -f只返回shell函数的信息。
type -t 只返回指定类型的信息。
使用示例
示例一 type自己是什么类型的命令
[root@new55 ~]# type -a type
type is a shell builtin
[root@new55 ~]# help type
type: type [-afptP] name [name ...]
For each NAME, indicate how it would be interpreted if used as a
command name.
If the -t option is used, `type' outputs a single word which is one of
`alias', `keyword', `function', `builtin', `file' or `', if NAME is an
alias, shell reserved word, shell function, shell builtin, disk file,
or unfound, respectively.
If the -p flag is used, `type' either returns the name of the disk
file that would be executed, or nothing if `type -t NAME' would not
return `file'.
If the -a flag is used, `type' displays all of the places that contain
an executable named `file'. This includes aliases, builtins, and
functions, if and only if the -p flag is not also used.
The -f flag suppresses shell function lookup.
The -P flag forces a PATH search for each NAME, even if it is an alias,
builtin, or function, and returns the name of the disk file that would
be executed.
typeset: typeset [-afFirtx] [-p] name[=value] ...
Obsolete. See `declare'.
