内置命令包含在 bash shell 本身里面。我该如何在 Linux / Apple OS X / *BSD / Unix 类操作系统列出所有的内置 bash 命令，而不用去读大篇的 bash 操作说明页？
shell 内置命令就是一个命令或一个函数，从 shell 中调用，它直接在 shell 中执行。 bash shell 直接执行该命令而无需调用其他程序。你可以使用 help 命令查看 Bash 内置命令的信息。以下是几种不同类型的内置命令。
内置命令的类型
如何查看所有 bash 内置命令
有以下的命令：
$ help
$ help | less
$ help | grep read
样例输出：
GNU bash, version 4.1.5(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
These shell commands are defined internally. Type `help' to see this list.
Type `help name' to find out more about the function `name'.
Use `info bash' to find out more about the shell in general.
Use `man -k' or `info' to find out more about commands not in this list.
A star (*) next to a name means that the command is disabled.

getopts optstring name [arg] wait [id]
hash [-lr] [-p pathname] [-dt] [name > while COMMANDS; do COMMANDS; done
help [-dms] [pattern ...] { COMMANDS ; }
另外一种选择是使用下列命令：
compgen -b
compgen -b | more
查看 Bash 的内置命令信息
运行以下得到详细信息：
help command
help read
要仅得到所有带简短描述的内置命令的列表，执行如下:
$ help -d
查找内置命令的语法和其他选项
使用下列语法去找出更多的相关内置命令：
help name
help cd
help fg
help for
help read
help :
样例输出：
:: :
Null command.
No effect; the command does nothing.
Exit Status:
Always succeeds
找出一个命令是内部的（内置）还是外部的
使用 type 命令或 command 命令：
type -a command-name-here
type -a cd
type -a uname
type -a :
type -a ls
或者：
type -a cd uname : ls uname
样例输出：
cd is a shell builtin
uname is /bin/uname
: is a shell builtin
ls is aliased to `ls --color=auto'
ls is /bin/ls
l is a function
l ()
{
ls --color=auto
}
或者：
command -V ls
command -V cd
command -V foo
