No, you're quite right... nash manpage says

at the bottom, although in the sources it hies from 2006. It seems
you will have to "use the source, luke" if you want to understand
these exotic nash builtins.
and just to confirm my original question, any command being run in the
init script *must* come from one of exactly two places:
1) nash built-in, or
2) the initramfs directory structure
i ask since i just noticed another command, "stabilized", that i'm
going to assume is yet another built-in that didn't make it into the
latest man page.
i think i'll just download the source and poke around myself.
