The way to tell would be to do
which goto
(A quick look at the FreeBSD--not Linux--man page for builtin, indicates
that it's present in the C shell but not in a Bourne shell.)
Another way is to go to the bash man page and do a search for goto. (To
search a man page, one uses a /, as you do in vi.) So you open the
manpage and enter
/goto
and see if the pattern is in the man page.
(Again, on FreeBSD at least, doing that indicates it's not in the bash
shell.)
