builtin
Run a shell builtin, passing it args, and return
its exit status.
SYNTAX builtin [shell-builtin [args]]
This is useful when defining a shell function with the same
name as a shell builtin, retaining the functionality of the builtin within the
function.
For example, to write a function to replace `cd' that writes the hostname and current directory to an xterm title bar: cd() { builtin cd "$@" && xtitle "$HOST: $PWD" }
The return status is non-zero if shell-builtin is not a
shell builtin command.
