- <code>-h</code> or <code>--help</code> displays a help message and exits.
- <code>-n</code> or <code>--names</code> lists the names of all defined functions.
- <code>-q</code> or <code>--query</code> tests if the specified functions exist.
The default behavior of <code>functions</code>, when called with no arguments,
is to print the names of all defined functions. Unless the \c -a option is
given, no functions starting with underscores are not included in the output.

-e</code>. Either remove the definition file or change the

Copying a function using \c -c copies only the body of the function, and
does not attach any event notifications from the original function.
Only one function's description can be changed in a single invocation
of <code>functions -d</code>.
The exit status of \c functions is the number of functions
specified in the argument list that do not exist, which can be used in
concert with the \c -q option.
\subsection functions-example Examples
<code>functions -n</code> displays a list of currently-defined functions.
<code>functions -c foo bar</code> copies the \c foo function to a new function called
<code>bar</code>.
