# builtin - run a builtin command

## Synopsis

    builtin [OPTIONS...] BUILTINNAME
    builtin --query BUILTINNAMES...

## Description

`builtin` forces the shell to use a builtin command, rather than a function or program.

The following parameters are available:

- `-n` or `--names` List the names of all defined builtins

- `-q` or `--query` tests if any of the specified builtins exists

## Example

    builtin jobs
    # executes the jobs builtin, even if a function named jobs exists
