Hello,

What is the meaning of "is hashed" on the output of the type command ?

p.ex.

# type myscript
myscript is hashed (/usr/local/bin/myscript)

Cheers

Didn't find a reference, but hashed in this context mean that the
location of your script '/usr/local/bin' is stored in the running ksh
so that the ksh does not need to scan the entire path if you call
'myscript' again.

if you type 'hash' in ksh you'll get a list of currently hashed
programs paths.
e.g. ls=/usr/bin/ls
