.. _cmd-command:
command - run a program
=======================
Synopsis
--------
``command`` [ *OPTIONS* ] [**COMMAND** [*ARG* ...]]
Description
-----------
``command`` forces the shell to execute the program ``COMMANDNAME`` and ignore any functions or builtins with the same name.
The following options are available:
**-a** or **--all**
Prints all *COMMAND* found in :envvar:`PATH`, in the order found.
**-q** or **--query**
Silence output and print nothing, setting only exit status.
Implies **--search**.
For compatibility, this is also **--quiet** (deprecated).
**-v** (or **-s** or **--search**)
Prints the external command that would be executed, or prints nothing if no file with the specified name could be found in :envvar:`PATH`.
With the **-v** option, ``command`` treats every argument as a separate command to look up and sets the exit status to 0 if any of the specified commands were found, or 1 if no commands could be found. Additionally passing **--quiet** option prevents any paths from being printed, like ``type -q``.
Examples
--------
| ``command ls`` causes fish to execute the ``ls`` program, even if an ``ls`` function exists.
| ``command -s ls`` returns the path to the ``ls`` program.
| ``command -q git; and command git log`` runs ``git log`` only if ``git`` exists.
