- Hi!
-
- What should the 'type' command display ?
- When I do 'type -all man' I get
- man is aliased to `bman'
- man is ./man
- ^^^^^
- This is a directory and shouldn't be displayed according to the
- documentation of 'type'. The 'help type' says:
-
- If the -all flag is used, displays all of the places that contain an
- executable named `file'. This includes aliases and functions, if and
- only if the -path flag is not also used.
-
- Is this correct?

- I believe it does this because the execute bit is set on directories. This
- could/sould be corrected by checking for the directory bit, but apparently is
- not (patch?)
