There is no long form. command is defined in Posix. Long forms are a GNU addition.

  Kind of a moot point for me since I usually install fish the first chance I get anyway, which has for its command command: > -v (or -s or --search) 'command --search' is much more accurate. To me, -v means either "version" or "verbose", and it's a stretch to say either of those words is suitable for this use case. Guess I'll have to remember it as vhich if the need arises :)

    > To me, -v means either "version" or "verbose", and it's a stretch to say either of those words is suitable for this use case. Well it is, kind of. From bash-builtins(7): > If either the -V or -v option is supplied, a description of command is printed. The -v option causes a single word indicating the command or filename used to invoke command to be displayed; the -V option produces a more verbose description.
