In the ksh manual it says "The -p option does a path search for
name even if name is an alias, a function, or a reserved word." But see
following example:
$ ksh --version
version sh (AT&T Research) 93u 2011-02-08
$ cat whence.ksh
# make sure there's no any foo command
foo
function foo
{
return
}
whence -v foo
whence -p foo
$ ksh whence.ksh
whence.ksh[2]: foo: not found [No such file or directory]
foo is a function
foo
$
Here `foo' is a function but `whence -p' still prints it out. Bug?
