GNU/Linux
Machine Type: i486-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.1
Patch Level: 17
Release Status: release
Description:
Hi
$ bash -c 'type ls foo; echo "$?"'
ls is /bin/ls
bash: line 0: type: foo: not found
0
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/type.html
suggests that the exit status should be >0 in that case which is
the case with other shells (ash, zsh, pdksh, ksh93).
Same for command -v ls foo
but command -v is not meant to accept more than 1 arg according
to POSIX. But you may want to change that as well for
consistency.
Repeat-By:
bash -c 'type ls foo; echo "$?"'
last line of output is "0" instead of "1" or "127".
