獲取有關 Linux shell 內置命令的幫助

Linux 內置命令是內置於 shell 中的命令,很像內置於牆中的書架。與標準 Linux 命令存儲在 /usr/bin 中的方式不同,你不會找到它們的獨立文件,你可能使用過相當多的內置命令,但你不會感覺到它們與 lspwd 等命令有何不同。

內置命令與其他 Linux 命令一樣使用,它們可能要比不屬於 shell 的類似命令運行得快一些。Bash 內置命令包括 aliasexportbg 等。

正如你擔心的那樣,因為內置命令是特定於 shell 的,所以它們不會提供手冊頁。使用 man 來查看 bg,你會看到這樣的東西:

$ man bg
No manual entry for bg

判斷內置命令的另一個提示是當你使用 which 命令來識別命令的來源時,Bash 不會響應,表示沒有與內置命令關聯的文件:

$ which bg
$

另一方面,如果你的 shell 是 /bin/zsh,你可能會得到一個更有啟發性的響應:

% which bg
bg: shell built-in command

bash 提供了額外的幫助信息,但它是通過使用 help 命令實現的:

$ help bg
bg: bg [job_spec ...]
    Move jobs to the background.

    Place the jobs identified by each JOB_SPEC in the background, as if they
    had been started with `&'.  If JOB_SPEC is not present, the shell's notion
    of the current job is used.

    Exit Status:
    Returns success unless job control is not enabled or an error occurs.

如果你想要查看 bash 提供的所有內置命令的列表,使用 compgen -b 命令。通過管道將命令輸出到列中,以獲得較好格式的清單。

$ compgen -b | column
.              compgen        exit           let            return         typeset
:              complete       export         local          set            ulimit
[              compopt        false          logout         shift          umask
alias          continue       fc             mapfile        shopt          unalias
bg             declare        fg             popd           source         unset
bind           dirs           getopts        printf         suspend        wait
break          disown         hash           pushd          test
builtin        echo           help           pwd            times
caller         enable         history        read           trap
cd             eval           jobs           readarray      true
command        exec           kill           readonly       type

如果你使用 help 命令,你將看到一個內置命令列表以及簡短描述。但是,這個列表被截斷了(以 help 命令結尾):

$ help
GNU bash, version 5.0.3(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
These shell commands are defined internally.  Type `help' to see this list.
Type `help name' to find out more about the function `name'.
Use `info bash' to find out more about the shell in general.
Use `man -k' or `info' to find out more about commands not in this list.

A star (*) next to a name means that the command is disabled.

從上面的清單中可以看出,help 命令本身就是內置的。

你可以通過向 help 命令提供你感興趣的內置命令名稱來獲取關於它們的更多信息,例如 help dirs

$ help dirs
dirs: dirs [-clpv] [+N] [-N]
    Display directory stack.

    Display the list of currently remembered directories.  Directories
    find their way onto the list with the `pushd&apos; command; you can get
    back up through the list with the `popd&apos; command.

    Options:
      -c        clear the directory stack by deleting all of the elements
      -l        do not print tilde-prefixed versions of directories relative
                to your home directory
      -p        print the directory stack with one entry per line
      -v        print the directory stack with one entry per line prefixed
                with its position in the stack

    Arguments:
      +N        Displays the Nth entry counting from the left of the list
                shown by dirs when invoked without options, starting with
                zero.

      -N        Displays the Nth entry counting from the right of the list
                shown by dirs when invoked without options, starting with
                zero.

    Exit Status:
    Returns success unless an invalid option is supplied or an error occurs.

內置命令提供了每個 shell 的大部分功能。你使用的任何 shell 都有一些內置命令,但是如何獲取這些內置命令的信息可能因 shell 而異。例如,對於 zsh,你可以使用 man zshbuiltins 命令獲得其內置命令的描述。

$ man zshbuiltins

ZSHBUILTINS(1)               General Commands Manual              ZSHBUILTINS(1)

NAME
       zshbuiltins - zsh built-in commands

SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS
       Some  shell  builtin commands take options as described in individual en‐
       tries; these are often referred to in the list below as `flags&apos; to  avoid
       confusion with shell options, which may also have an effect on the behav‐
       iour of builtin commands.  In this introductory section, `option&apos;  always
       has the meaning of an option to a command that should be familiar to most
       command line users.
…

在這個冗長的手冊頁中,你將找到一個內置命令列表,其中包含有用的描述,如下摘錄中所示:

bg [ job ... ]
job ... &
       Put  each  specified  job in the background, or the current job if
       none is specified.

bindkey
       See the section `Zle Builtins&apos; in zshzle(1).

break [ n ]
       Exit from an enclosing for, while, until, select or  repeat  loop.
       If  an  arithmetic  expression n is specified, then break n levels
       instead of just one.

最後

Linux 內置命令對於每個 shell 都很重要,它的操作類似特定於 shell 的命令一樣。如果你經常使用不同的 shell,並注意到你經常使用的某些命令似乎不存在或者不能按預期工作,那麼它可能是你使用的其他 shell 之一中的內置命令。
