e2404784e6 builtin(1): sh has no @ builtin command.

36f8c7ebef Make hash, type and ulimit available via execve().
These are specified by POSIX but are not special builtins, and therefore
need to be available via execve() and utilities like time, nohup, xargs.
(Note that hash was moved from the XSI option to the base in the 2008
standard.)

Like most of the POSIX "regular builtin commands", these need to be executed
in a shell environment for full functionality, although they may still be of
some use outside one.

Unlike the POSIX special and regular builtin commands, POSIX does not
require these to be found before a PATH search, although that could be an
oversight.

Like some of the utilities already provided by usr.bin/alias, these may lead
to confusing results when invoked from csh(1).

bf59faa385 builtin(1): Add missing escaping for !, . and : in the table.
This caused these commands to look differently (not bold) from the other
commands in the table (bold).

628f88b8b4 Added missing builtins; a few other clean-ups.
- The first "alias" "Yes" should be "No**".
- Made "builtin echo command" consistent with csh and sh manpages.
- In group of 3 interactive commands, 2 used .Pa instead of .Ic.
- "Name" section now has "builtin" and "built-in" for better apropos.
- Added these builtins: !, %, ., :, @, {, }, local, return

018d9f6237 Remove the printf builtin command from sh(1), which command is not
used so often that it's worth keeping it as a builtin.

Now that all the printf invocations from within the system startup
scripts, we can safely remove it.

Urged by:	sheldonh  :)

No MFC is planned so far because it may break compatibility and
violate POLA.

d90c5c4ab4 Make test(1) a builtin command of our sh(1) for efficiency. The
binary size increase is 3,784 bytes (about 0.6%).

I don't drop the printf builtin while I'm here because some /etc/rc.*
scripts seem to use it before mounting /usr where printf(1) resides.

c1f3e4bf21 Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply did
cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...

e6d3cf2648 Correct some hard sentence breaks. Only those surrounding the previous
commit and those which cause ugly nroff output have been fixed, since
the purpose of the style guideline which they contravene is to reduce

c644db6aa2 Improve shell documentation:
* Consistently misspell built-in as builtin.

* Add a builtin(1) manpage and create builtin(1) MLINKS for all shell
  builtin commands for which no standalone utility exists.  These MLINKS
  replace those that were created for csh(1).

* Add appropriate xrefs for builtin(1) to the csh(1) and sh(1) manpages,
  as well as to the manpages of standalone utilities which are supported
  as shell builtin commands in at least one of the shells. In such
  manpages, explain that similar functionality may be provided as a
  shell builtin command.

* Improve sh(1)'s description of the cd builtin command. Csh(1) already
  describes it adequately. Replace the cd(1) manpage with a builtin(1)
  MLINKS link.

* Clean up some mdoc problems: use Xr instead of literal "foo(n)"; use
  Ic instead of Xr for shell builtin commands.

* Undo English contractions.
