Actually, it is more like this than the one given by Matthew, at least on
my copy of Solaris 2.5.

The file starts with

#!/bin/ksh

Then follows the obligatory copyright notice!

and then they do the equivalent of (not wanting to violate their precious
copyright :-)):

`basename $0` "$@"

Obviously, they automatically generate links for this script with the names
of all builtin commands, including alias, bg, cd, command, fc, fg, hash, jobs,
read, ulimit, umask, unalias and wait. Actually, it would have been
easier to cite the remaining 4 commands, for which it makes sort of sense :-).
For completeness, despite kill those are getopts, test and type.

And, BTW, the file is still version 1.1!
