Ensure builtin command is run under pathological circumstances












0















Given a hostile environment such as:



builtin()   { echo builtin function; }
command() { echo command function; }
type() { echo type function; }
unfunction(){ echo function unfunction; }
declare() { echo function declare; }

alias builtin=' echo builtin aliased #'
alias command=' echo command aliased #'
alias type=' echo type aliased #'
alias unfunction='echo unfunction aliased #'
alias declare=' echo declare aliased #'


Is it possible to access a builtin command? Eg, is it possible to do something like:



command builtin type echo


and still see:



echo is a shell builtin


Is possible for a hostile environment to be able to completely redefine things such that an underlying builtin, function or pathname could never be accessed?

  • unalias builtin; unset -f builtin? I don't think this environment is hostile enough.
