Actually 'type' is a shell built in, we should avoid using it whenever possible. A simple example showing that using #!/bin/sh and 'type -t' will fail in ubuntu is shown below. <code> #!/bin/sh func_wrapper() { type -t func } func() { echo "THIS IS FUNC" } func_wrapper </code> chenqi@pek-qchen1-d1:~/test$ ./test.sh -t: not found func is a shell function //Chen Qi 36514 1 Qi.Chen 2013-09-11 05:49:37 +0000 Branch: master Commit: d5a4f031b460437e9501e4e65194ce94d3641130 URL: http://git.openembedded.org/?p=openembedded-core.git&a=commit;h=d5a4f031b460437e9501e4e65194ce94d3641130 36564 2 sgw 2013-09-11 23:17:54 +0000 *** Bug 5111 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
