...which is, of course, why you should always use "type" in bash
rather than "which" :-). "type", being a shell built-in, will tell you
what bash will *actually* run, hashing - and shell builtins, and
functions, and aliases - included.
Hmm, interesting. I didn't know the "type" command. However, is there a
way to easily parse the output of "type"?
It depends what you're trying to do. Problems can arise because the
"command" might be an alias, built-in, function, etc. and the correct
thing to do is to report this (or if you're trying to parse the output
e.g. in a script, your script should be prepared to handle this).
That said, some combination of inspecting the -p, -P and/or -t options
will probably get you there. I'd strongly encourage you to read the
output of 'help type' :-). 'type' with no options is mainly intended for
humans to read.
