Yes, bash documentation is not the best packaged (I like the Solaris man pages for shell builtins much better). What `man hash' is trying to tell you to do is run `man bash', then search the BUILTINS section for hash. > > hash --help is nearly as bad, unless perhaps you already > know how it works and just need the switch letter. > Yes, the bash maintainer did not add the --help option to his builtins. Instead, bash provides the builtin help command. Try `help hash' to see the subset of `man bash' relevant to the hash command. -- Eric Blake -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
