Shows how much about Linux I know, I had never previously heard about the
command called command.
An Internet search was not great since "command" is such a common term, however
I managed to find some info using the usual Linux 'get help' options. Maybe
there is more detailed info out there somewhere?
$ man command
No manual entry for command
$ command --help
command: command [-pVv] command [arg ...]
Execute a simple command or display information about commands.
Runs COMMAND with ARGS suppressing shell function lookup, or display
information about the specified COMMANDs. Can be used to invoke commands
on disk when a function with the same name exists.
Options:
-p use a default value for PATH that is guaranteed to find all of
the standard utilities
-v print a description of COMMAND similar to the `type' builtin
-V print a more verbose description of each COMMAND
Exit Status:
Returns exit status of COMMAND, or failure if COMMAND is not found.
