Tumbleweed - Old Friend (man bashbuiltins) Not There ??
Devs, Since I can remember, suse/opensuse has provided the convenience of collecting the bash builtin functions in a separate man page: $ man bashbuiltins On Tumbleweed, that results in: $ man bashbuiltins No manual entry for bashbuiltins Possibly, man page is not installed, try online at: https://manpages.opensuse.org/bashbuiltins It was there up though Leap 15.4. Anybody know what happened to it? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Never mind, Patrick caught my infant Alzheimer's ... It's bash_builtins --- duh.... (smacks self for faulty memory) Thanks Patrick! (time to restore his list privileges....) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Oh, ... no wait, ... I'm not crazy ... yet. Seems bashbuiltins is available in 15.5 and 15.6 as pointed out by Mr. Swisher in the bash-doc rpm. Tumbleweed does not have bashbuiltins in bash-doc, but instead has renamed in bash_builtins and it is part of the bash rpm. Thank you Bill for pointing out I'm not as crazy as I thought :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
The `bashbuiltins` man page is not included by default in openSUSE Tumbleweed. Instead, the bash built-in functions are documented in the main `bash` man page. This change aligns with upstream bash development, where built-in functions are integrated into the primary manual instead of a separate file. To access built-in command details, use: man bash For a more specific search, try: man bash | less -p "Built-in Commands" https://planet-clicker.com/

No, no, It was all me having a "ID-10-T" moment. The command is "man bash_builtins" where I inadvertently omitted the punctuating underscore. If you remove the punctuation from the moment descriptor, all will be clear... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

In my leap 15.5 it is "man bashbuiltins", but once inside, it says differently: BASH_BUILTINS(1) General Commands Manual BASH_BUILTINS(1) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
