doesn't work for me (using fish) and is apparantly only available in bash; would you call that then a command?
at is also not a built-in but an external tool you have to install first; but its an interesting one.
Right, the
^search^replaceis a Bash feature. It is a builtin command, likeechoorcdin example. Just because a command is not available to any other shell or if its not an independent program, does not make it not a command (in my opinion).However I agree its a little bit out of place here. A note that its a builtin and not universally available to every shell would have been nice in such a listing.
just for the sake of being pedantic:
echois actually a program (just likels)cdthough is indeed a command. And I agree with your last statement.echois a program, but some shells like Bash and zsh also have a built-inecho. You can runtype echoto verify that.whelp... i tried to be pedantic and then got schooled. Thanks :D
