$BUILTIN enable
$FUNCTION enable_builtin
-$SHORT_DOC enable [-pnds] [-a] [-f filename] [name ...]
-Enable and disable builtin shell commands. This allows
-you to use a disk command which has the same name as a shell
-builtin without specifying a full pathname. If -n is used, the
-NAMEs become disabled; otherwise NAMEs are enabled. For example,
-to use the `test' found in $PATH instead of the shell builtin
-version, type `enable -n test'. On systems supporting dynamic
-loading, the -f option may be used to load new builtins from the
-shared object FILENAME. The -d option will delete a builtin
-previously loaded with -f. If no non-option names are given, or
-the -p option is supplied, a list of builtins is printed. The
--a option means to print every builtin with an indication of whether
-or not it is enabled. The -s option restricts the output to the POSIX.2
-`special' builtins. The -n option displays a list of all disabled builtins.
+$SHORT_DOC enable [-a] [-dnps] [-f filename] [name ...]
+Enable and disable shell builtins.
+
+Enables and disables builtin shell commands. Disabling allows you to
+execute a disk command which has the same name as a shell builtin
+without using a full pathname.
+
+Options:
+ -a print a list of builtins showing whether or not each is enabled
+ -n disable each NAME or display a list of disabled builtins
+ -p print the list of builtins in a reusable format
+ -s print only the names of Posix `special' builtins
+
+Options controlling dynamic loading:
+ -f Load builtin NAME from shared object FILENAME
+ -d Remove a builtin loaded with -f
+
+Without options, each NAME is enabled.
+
+To use the `test' found in $PATH instead of the shell builtin
+version, type `enable -n test'.
+
+Exit Status:
+Returns success unless NAME is not a shell builtin or an error occurs.
