HISTORY
     The builtin manual page first appeared in FreeBSD 3.4.

AUTHORS
     This manual page was written by Alexander Ziaee <ziaee@FreeBSD.org> from an
     earlier version by Sheldon Hearn <sheldonh@FreeBSD.org>.

CAVEATS
     While builtin commands may exist in more than one shell or standalone, each
     may be implemented differently.

     Standalone utilities and their manuals must be called by their path from  a
     shell with a builtin command of the same name.
