The manual/ manpage for portsnap(8) and its use of 'command' is precise
*and* entirely consistant with roughly 40(!!) years of Unix documentation
history.  (see, for instance, the 'mt' manpage, which existed before
6th Edition Unix.)

And, of course, if one follows/accepts jb's "reasoning", that which follows
the '-c' parameter on a shell invocation is not a command.
nor is that which follows '-exec' on a 'find' invocation.
nor is that which follows the 'exec' command.
