enable: enable [-a] [-dnps] [-f filename] [name ...]

Enable and disable shell builtins.

Enables and disables builtin shell commands. Disabling allows you to execute a disk command which has the same name as a shell builtin without using a full pathname.

Options
-a print a list of builtins showing whether or not each is enabled -n disable each NAME or display a list of disabled builtins -p print the list of builtins in a reusable format -s print only the names of Posix `special' builtins

Options controlling dynamic loading:

      -f        Load builtin NAME from shared object FILENAME
      -d        Remove a builtin loaded with -f

Without options, each NAME is enabled.

To use the `test' found in $PATH instead of the shell builtin version, type `enable -n test'.

Exit Status:
Returns success unless NAME is not a shell builtin or an error occurs.
