Well just type: help BUILTIN
Example : help read
- garaetjjte 5y agoThis prints abridged usage help, though. You can use `info bash read`, but confusingly it might not always contain the same content as manpages.
- ape4 5y agoThanks I didn't know! So many years of searching for "read" (etc) in the huge bash man page and, of course, in the case of "read" finding many false positives. Still it would be nice if `man` could be improved to know about builtin commands - the obvious thing is something like an html anchor in the big bash man page for each built in.
