# builtin - run a builtin command

## Synopsis

    builtin [OPTIONS] BUILTINNAME
    builtin --query BUILTINNAME ...
    builtin --names

## Description

`builtin` forces the shell to use a builtin command named BUILTIN, rather than a function or external program.

The following options are available:

-n or --names

  Lists the names of all defined builtins.

-q or --query BUILTIN

  Tests if any of the specified builtins exist. If any exist, it returns 0, 1 otherwise.

-h or --help

  Displays help about using this command.

## Example

    builtin jobs
    # executes the jobs builtin, even if a function named jobs exists
