1command [ -pvV ] simple command 2 The simple command argument is taken as an external command 3 instead of a function or builtin and is executed. If the 4 POSIX BUILTINS option is set, builtins will also be executed but 5 - 6 certain special properties of them are suppressed. The -p flag 7 causes a default path to be searched instead of that in $path. 8 With the -v flag, command is similar to whence and with -V, it 9 is equivalent to whence -v. 10 11 See also the section `Precommand Modifiers'. 12
