where to find the description about the bash functions in linuxrc: ep: qt(),source()

[frederick van tagero]

I work in doing linuxrc (in initrd.gz), so as to mount encryted fs before the root fs mounted, however, I found some functions such as qt, source, and some thing like this before any normal command execue, I never have been seen before, neither in man. Who can tell me where to find the docments about thus function.

Best regards,
Frederick

Fred,

source is a shell builtin and you would normally run man to get the details of the shell builtins.

so, if bash is your shell, man bash would give you the information here about the source command.

I didn't find any info on qt function in bash's manpage however - i don't know what this qt function does...

- ramd.

Hi,
Either do:

# man

or

# man -k
e.g.
# man -k qt

This looks in the man pages for key word qt.

Trystan.
