Package: bash
Version: 3.0-5
Severity: normal
The following log shows that "command -v" prints the name of a shell
function even though the man page says that shell functions are
supposed to be excluded from the search.
$ foo() { echo fjdskfjs ; }
$ foo
fjdskfjs
$ command -v foo
foo
$ echo $?
0
$ command foo
bash: foo: command not found
$ echo $?
127
command [-pVv] command [arg ...]
Run command with args suppressing the normal
shell function lookup. Only builtin commands
or commands found in the PATH are executed.
[...] If either the -V or
-v option is supplied, a description of com-
mand is printed. The -v option causes a
single word indicating the command or file
name used to invoke command to be displayed;
[...] If the -V or -v option is sup-
plied, the exit status is 0 if command was
found, and 1 if not. If neither option is
supplied and an error occurred or command
cannot be found, the exit status is 127.
Otherwise, the exit status of the command
builtin is the exit status of command.
