How to generate list of *all* available commands and functions?
The solution I chose was to run the command:
$ compgen -A function -abck | sort -u >> cmds.txt
which appends all runnable commands, functions and aliases to a text file cmds.txt
Taken from: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/948008/linux-command-to-list-all-available-commands-and-aliases
Edit: added sort -u
to command to remove duplicates as suggested by glenn jackman
It seems compgen
outputs duplicates: perhaps programs that appear in multiple locations in your PATH:
autocomplete says:
$ [tab][tab]
Display all 2328 possibilities? (y or n)
compgen says:
$ compgen -A function -abck | wc -l
2647
$ compgen -A function -abck | sort -u | wc -l
2328
I don't know if this is important for you.
