I can't say I understand the technical differences between 'type' and which(1). However, I will mention these points:
1. There is no man page for 'type', but there is for which(1) 2. There also appears to be whereis(1). However, I can't speak to the differences between this command and the other two. ------- Original Message ------- On Saturday, November 19th, 2022 at 12:00 AM, Reuben mac Saoidhea <ancatm...@outlook.com> wrote: > you really ought to use `type', not` which', > in case it is a shell function etc.
