+.SH NAME
+type \- write a description of command type
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fBtype\fP \fIname\fP\fB... \fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fItype\fP utility shall indicate how each argument would be interpreted
+if used as a command name.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.LP
+None.
+.SH OPERANDS
+.LP
+The following operand shall be supported:
+.TP 7
+\fIname\fP
+A name to be interpreted.
+.sp
+.SH STDIN
+.LP
+Not used.
+.SH INPUT FILES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+.LP
+The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
+\fItype\fP:
+.TP 7
+\fILANG\fP
+Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that
+are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
+IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables
+for
+the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine
+the values of locale categories.)
+.TP 7
+\fILC_ALL\fP
+If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
+other internationalization variables.
+.TP 7
+\fILC_CTYPE\fP
+Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes
+of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
+opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
+.TP 7
+\fILC_MESSAGES\fP
+Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
+contents of diagnostic messages written to standard
+error.
+.TP 7
+\fINLSPATH\fP
+Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of \fILC_MESSAGES
+\&.\fP
+.TP 7
+\fIPATH\fP
+Determine the location of \fIname\fP, as described in the Base Definitions
+volume of IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Chapter 8, Environment Variables.
+.sp
+.SH ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
+.LP
+Default.
+.SH STDOUT
+.LP
+The standard output of \fItype\fP contains information about each
+operand in an unspecified format. The information provided
+typically identifies the operand as a shell built-in, function, alias,
+or keyword, and where applicable, may display the operand's
+pathname.
+.SH STDERR
+.LP
+The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
+.SH OUTPUT FILES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+None.
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+.LP
+The following exit values shall be returned:
+.TP 7
+\ 0
+Successful completion.
+.TP 7
+>0
+An error occurred.
+.sp
+.SH CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
+.LP
+Default.
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+Since \fItype\fP must be aware of the contents of the current shell
+execution environment (such as the lists of commands,
+functions, and built-ins processed by \fIhash\fP), it is always provided
+as a shell regular
+built-in. If it is called in a separate utility execution environment,
+such as one of the following:
+.sp
+.RS
+.nf
+
+\fBnohup type writer
+find . -type f | xargs type
+\fP
+.fi
+.RE
+it might not produce accurate results.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
