Well, when you read the man page for that command, if it slams you into
the manpage for a shell, then it's a shell builtin.
But sometimes you have to be sneaky.
For instance, I had this trype of problem a month or so ago.
I was trying to nice out some processes, and I couldn't.  What I didn't
know was that, besides the 'nice' binary command, there's a 'nice' builtin
to tcsh (which I use), which has a completely different argument format.
So, I s'pose all you can do is trial and error.
