And I guess we're already explicit=20 > about this: I tend to disagree ;) When using "man alias" for example, we get the builtin manpage. This is true for every builtin i every tried the last years. "man echo" is the only manp= age for an builtin. Also the statement is not too helpful. While i am able to figure out which shell i am using: many users are not. Also the builtin manpage itself is not very helpful. It redirects me to the next manpage of the shell itself (afte= r g.=20 So my workflow is: 1) man echo=20 2) man builtin 3) man bash And every manpage is getting more complex and harder to understand. Beside = the fact, that its possible to use different echos (if i read the buildin manpa= ge correct?). In conclusion: maybe its fine from a technical point of view. From a user p= oint of view it is very confusing. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
