command

command [-pvV] name [arg ...]

ksh93 only. Without -v or -V, execute name with given arguments. This command bypasses any aliases or functions that may be defined for name.

Options

-p

Use a predefined, default search path, not the current value of PATH.

-v

Just like whence.

-V

Just like whence -v.

Example

Create an alias for rm that will get the system's version, and run it with the -i option:

alias 'rm=command -p rm -i'
