>Description:

The command command does not support the `-p' option, which is
required by POSIX (see XCU page 257).  A portable shell script which
wants to ensure that it has a clean PATH is supposed to be able to do:

export PATH=$(command -p getconf PATH)

>How-To-Repeat:
$ command -p getconf PATH
-p: not found

>Fix:

not investigated
