Looks like it's a bash function brought to you courtesy of the package virtualenvwrapper. Functions can be discovered with 'declare -f'. There are a ton if you're using the bash-completion package, so what I'd do is type 'declare -f mkvi<tab>' ... if it's a function, the full name will tab complete. Then press <return> to see its definition if you like. And digging deeper yet, if you incant 'shopt -s extdebug; declare -F mkvi<tab><return>' you can find where it was defined! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
