devnull'ing this builtin to check presence is a common enough chore that a --quiet option which works like it does on `type` would be handy.

\subsection command-description Description
|
|
|
|
`command` forces the shell to execute the program `COMMANDNAME` and ignore any functions or builtins with the same name.
|
|
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
|
|
- `-s` or `--search` returns the name of the disk file that would be executed, or nothing if no file with the specified name could be found in the `$PATH`.
|
|
|
|
With the `-s` option, `command` treats every argument as a separate command to look up and sets the exit status to 0 if any of the specified commands were found, or 1 if no commands could be found. Additionally passing a `-q` or `--quiet` option prevents any paths from being printed, like the `type -q`, for testing only the exit status.
|
|
|
|
For basic compatibility with POSIX `command`, the `-v` flag is recognized as an alias for `-s`.
|
|
|
|
\subsection command-example Examples
|
|
|
|
`command ls` causes fish to execute the `ls` program, even if an `ls` function exists.
|
|
|
|
`command -s ls` returns the path to the `ls` program.
