When running 'help command' in the shell, the output contains:
> -v print a description of COMMAND similar to the `type' builtin
> -V print a more verbose description of each COMMAND
This seems to be opposite to the actual behaviour of 'command', in which
'-V' (capital V) produces output similar to 'type'. The text within the
Bash man-page appears to be correct.
Other info:
- version number and release status of Bash: 5.2.32(1)-release
(x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
- The machine and OS that it is running on: Debian trixie (testing)
container running under LXD on ChromeOS
Best,
Andrew
