command

command(1)						      General Commands Manual							command(1)

NAME

       command - execute a simple command

SYNOPSIS

       command_name [argument ...]

DESCRIPTION

       enables the shell to treat the arguments as a simple command, suppressing the shell function lookup.

       If command_name is not the name of the function, the effect of is the same as omitting command.

   Operands
       recognizes the following operands:

	      command_name     The name of a HP-UX command or a shell built-in command.

	      argument	       One or more strings to be interpreted as arguments to command_name.

       The  command  is  necessary to allow functions that have the same name as a command to call the command (instead of a recursive call to the
       function).

       Nothing in the description of is intended to imply that the command line is parsed any differently than	any  other  simple  command.   For
       example,

       is not parsed in any special way that causes or to be treated other than a pipe operator or semicolon or that prevents function lookup on b
       or c.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Environment Variables
       determines the search path used during the command search.

RETURN VALUE

       exits with one of the following values:

	      o  If fails:

		 126	 The utility specified by the command_name is found but not executable.

		 127	 An error occurred in the utility or the utility specified by command_name is not found.

	      o  If does not fail:

		 The exit status of is the same as that of the simple command specified by the arguments: command_name[argument ...]

EXAMPLES

       Create a version of the command that always prints the name of the new working directory whenever it is used:

	      cd() {
		      command "$@" >/dev/null
		      pwd
	      }

       Circumvent the redefined command above, and change directories without printing the name of the new working directory:
