Subject: What is distinct about exec of a builtin?
Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2018 11:13:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKc7PVDT9TvD1w+zHSp6LJHM+f_+5AQ9JRqkwH4Q0RVsGcbuOg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
reading the source I've noted that one can exec builtin. Tested `exec
type -w run-help`, it worked and shell quickly exited. I wonder what
can this functionality be used for? Is there anything distinct about
exec'ing a builtin?
