>Description:

	Yet another item missing from the sh(1) manpage. This seems
	rather poor. I suppose someone should probably go through
	the source and figure out what else it does.

	Additionally, the manpage is rather unclear as to what is and is
	not a builtin. This, too, should be fixed.

>How-To-Repeat:

	man sh
