+$BUILTIN for
+$SHORT_DOC for NAME [in WORDS ... ] ; do COMMANDS; done
+Execute commands for each member in a list.
+
+The `for' loop executes a sequence of commands for each member in a
+list of items. If `in WORDS ...;' is not present, then `in "$@"' is
+assumed. For each element in WORDS, NAME is set to that element, and
+the COMMANDS are executed.
+
+Exit Status:
+Returns the status of the last command executed.
+$END
+
+$BUILTIN for ((
+$DOCNAME arith_for
+$SHORT_DOC for (( exp1; exp2; exp3 )); do COMMANDS; done
+Arithmetic for loop.
+
+Equivalent to
+ (( EXP1 ))
+ while (( EXP2 )); do
+ COMMANDS
+ (( EXP3 ))
+ done
+EXP1, EXP2, and EXP3 are arithmetic expressions. If any expression is
+omitted, it behaves as if it evaluates to 1.
+
+Exit Status:
+Returns the status of the last command executed.
+$END
+
+$BUILTIN select
+$SHORT_DOC select NAME [in WORDS ... ;] do COMMANDS; done
+Select words from a list and execute commands.
+
+The WORDS are expanded, generating a list of words. The
+set of expanded words is printed on the standard error, each
+preceded by a number. If `in WORDS' is not present, `in "$@"'
+is assumed. The PS3 prompt is then displayed and a line read
+from the standard input. If the line consists of the number
+corresponding to one of the displayed words, then NAME is set
+to that word. If the line is empty, WORDS and the prompt are
+redisplayed. If EOF is read, the command completes. Any other
+value read causes NAME to be set to null. The line read is saved
+in the variable REPLY. COMMANDS are executed after each selection
+until a break command is executed.
+
+Exit Status:
+Returns the status of the last command executed.
+$END
+
+$BUILTIN time
+$SHORT_DOC time [-p] pipeline
+Report time consumed by pipeline's execution.
+
+Execute PIPELINE and print a summary of the real time, user CPU time,
+and system CPU time spent executing PIPELINE when it terminates.
+
+Options:
+ -p print the timing summary in the portable Posix format
+
+The value of the TIMEFORMAT variable is used as the output format.
+
+Exit Status:
+The return status is the return status of PIPELINE.
+$END
+
+$BUILTIN case
+$SHORT_DOC case WORD in [PATTERN [| PATTERN]...) COMMANDS ;;]... esac
+Execute commands based on pattern matching.
+
+Selectively execute COMMANDS based upon WORD matching PATTERN. The
+`|' is used to separate multiple patterns.
+
+Exit Status:
+Returns the status of the last command executed.
+$END
+
+$BUILTIN if
+$SHORT_DOC if COMMANDS; then COMMANDS; [ elif COMMANDS; then COMMANDS; ]... [ else COMMANDS; ] fi
+Execute commands based on conditional.
+
+The `if COMMANDS' list is executed. If its exit status is zero, then the
+`then COMMANDS' list is executed. Otherwise, each `elif COMMANDS' list is
+executed in turn, and if its exit status is zero, the corresponding
+`then COMMANDS' list is executed and the if command completes. Otherwise,
+the `else COMMANDS' list is executed, if present. The exit status of the
+entire construct is the exit status of the last command executed, or zero
+if no condition tested true.
+
+Exit Status:
+Returns the status of the last command executed.
+$END
+
+$BUILTIN while
+$SHORT_DOC while COMMANDS; do COMMANDS; done
+Execute commands as long as a test succeeds.
+
+Expand and execute COMMANDS as long as the final command in the
+`while' COMMANDS has an exit status of zero.
+
+Exit Status:
+Returns the status of the last command executed.
+$END
+
+$BUILTIN until
+$SHORT_DOC until COMMANDS; do COMMANDS; done
+Execute commands as long as a test does not succeed.
+
+Expand and execute COMMANDS as long as the final command in the
+`until' COMMANDS has an exit status which is not zero.
+
+Exit Status:
+Returns the status of the last command executed.
+$END
+
+$BUILTIN coproc
+$SHORT_DOC coproc [NAME] command [redirections]
+Create a coprocess named NAME.
+
+Execute COMMAND asynchronously, with the standard output and standard
+input of the command connected via a pipe to file descriptors assigned
+to indices 0 and 1 of an array variable NAME in the executing shell.
+The default NAME is "COPROC".
+
+Exit Status:
+The coproc command returns an exit status of 0.
+$END
+
+$BUILTIN function
+$SHORT_DOC function name { COMMANDS ; } or name () { COMMANDS ; }
+Define shell function.
+
+Create a shell function named NAME. When invoked as a simple command,
+NAME runs COMMANDs in the calling shell's context. When NAME is invoked,
+the arguments are passed to the function as $1...$n, and the function's
+name is in $FUNCNAME.
+
+Exit Status:
+Returns success unless NAME is readonly.
+$END
+
+$BUILTIN { ... }
+$DOCNAME grouping_braces
+$SHORT_DOC { COMMANDS ; }
+Group commands as a unit.
+
+Run a set of commands in a group. This is one way to redirect an
+entire set of commands.
+
+Exit Status:
+Returns the status of the last command executed.
+$END
+
+$BUILTIN %
+$DOCNAME fg_percent
+$SHORT_DOC job_spec [&]
+Resume job in foreground.
+
+Equivalent to the JOB_SPEC argument to the `fg' command. Resume a
+stopped or background job. JOB_SPEC can specify either a job name
+or a job number. Following JOB_SPEC with a `&' places the job in
+the background, as if the job specification had been supplied as an
+argument to `bg'.
+
+Exit Status:
+Returns the status of the resumed job.
+$END
+
+$BUILTIN (( ... ))
+$DOCNAME arith
+$SHORT_DOC (( expression ))
+Evaluate arithmetic expression.
+
+The EXPRESSION is evaluated according to the rules for arithmetic
+evaluation. Equivalent to "let EXPRESSION".
+
+Exit Status:
+Returns 1 if EXPRESSION evaluates to 0; returns 0 otherwise.
+$END
+
+$BUILTIN [[ ... ]]
+$DOCNAME conditional
+$SHORT_DOC [[ expression ]]
+Execute conditional command.
+
+Returns a status of 0 or 1 depending on the evaluation of the conditional
+expression EXPRESSION. Expressions are composed of the same primaries used
+by the `test' builtin, and may be combined using the following operators:
+
+ ( EXPRESSION ) Returns the value of EXPRESSION
+ ! EXPRESSION True if EXPRESSION is false; else false
+ EXPR1 && EXPR2 True if both EXPR1 and EXPR2 are true; else false
+ EXPR1 || EXPR2 True if either EXPR1 or EXPR2 is true; else false
+
+When the `==' and `!=' operators are used, the string to the right of
+the operator is used as a pattern and pattern matching is performed.
+When the `=~' operator is used, the string to the right of the operator
+is matched as a regular expression.
+
+The && and || operators do not evaluate EXPR2 if EXPR1 is sufficient to
+determine the expression's value.
+
+Exit Status:
+0 or 1 depending on value of EXPRESSION.

+ for new mail.

+PWD The full pathname of the current directory.
+SHELLOPTS A colon-separated list of enabled shell options.

+ stopped jobs. If found there, that job is foregrounded.
+ A value of `exact' means that the command word must
+ exactly match a command in the list of stopped jobs. A
+ value of `substring' means that the command word must
+ match a substring of the job. Any other value means that
+ the command must be a prefix of a stopped job.
+#if defined (HISTORY)
+# if defined (BANG_HISTORY)
+histchars Characters controlling history expansion and quick
+ substitution. The first character is the history
+ substitution character, usually `!'. The second is
+ the `quick substitution' character, usually `^'. The

+# endif /* BANG_HISTORY */
+HISTIGNORE A colon-separated list of patterns used to decide which
+ commands should be saved on the history list.
