The first form of the command (without arguments) displays the current systype value, which specifies the UNIX version of commands being executed by the Shell. The second form allows you to set the UNIX version, to systype. Valid systypes are “sys5” and “bsd4.2”.

The third form of the command causes the UNIX version of command specified by systype to be executed, with no permanent change to systype.
