Bash has several commands that are built inside the command shell. When the name of a builtin command is used as the first word of a simple command, the shell executes the command directly, without invoking another program. Builtin commands are necessary to implement functionality impossible or inconvenient to obtain with separate utilities. Many of the builtins have been extended by POSIX or Bash.
