                        enable
                      [options] [built-in...]

Enable (or when -n is specified, disable) built-in shell commands. Without built-in argument or with -p option, print enabled built-ins. With -a, print the status of all built-ins. You can disable shell commands in order to define your own functions with the same names.

Options

-a

Display all built-ins, both enabled and disabled.

-d

Delete a built-in command that was previously loaded with -f.

-f filename

On systems that support dynamic loading, load the new built-in command built-in from the shared object filename.

-n

Disable each specified built-in.

-p

Display enabled built-ins.

-s

Restrict display to special built-ins defined by the POSIX standard.
