BUILTIN(1)

NAME
builtin - run a builtin command

SYNOPSIS
builtin [OPTIONS] BUILTINNAME

DESCRIPTION

The following options are available:

    -n or --names
        Lists the names of all defined builtins.

    -q or --query BUILTIN
        Tests if any of the specified builtins exist. If any exist, it returns 0, 1 otherwise.

    -h or --help
        Displays help about using this command.

EXAMPLE

            builtin jobs
            # executes the jobs builtin, even if a function named jobs exists
