A pergunta induz ao erro

Acredito que a palavra "atualmente" no corpo da pergunta induz ao erro, não? Pois eu fui testar os comandos builtin e eles funcionam com o --help no ubuntu 18.04 LTS:

sergio@sergioubuntudesktop:~$ pwd --help
pwd: pwd [-LP]

Print the name of the current working directory.

Options:

-L    print the value of $PWD if it names the current working
            directory

-P    print the physical directory, without any symbolic links

By default, 'pwd' behaves as if '-L' were specified.

Exit Status:
    Returns 0 unless an invalid option is given or the current directory
    cannot be read.
sergio@sergioubuntudesktop:~$ cd --help
cd: cd [-L|[-P [-e]] [-@]] [dir]
    Change the shell working directory.

    Change the current directory to DIR.  The default DIR is the value of the
    HOME shell variable.

    The variable CDPATH defines the search path for the directory containing
    DIR.  Alternative directory names in CDPATH are separated by a colon (:).
    A null directory name is the same as the current directory.  If DIR begins
    with a slash (/), then CDPATH is not used.

    If the directory is not found, and the shell option 'cdable_vars' is set,
    the word is assumed to be  a variable name.  If that variable has a value,
    its value is used for DIR.

    Options:
      -L    force symbolic links to be followed: resolve symbolic
            links in DIR after processing instances of '..'
      -P    use the physical directory structure without following
            symbolic links: resolve symbolic links in DIR before
            processing instances of '..'
      -e    if the -P option is supplied, and the current working
            directory cannot be determined successfully, exit with
            a non-zero status
      -@    on systems that support it, present a file with extended
            attributes as a directory containing the file attributes

    The default is to follow symbolic links, as if '-L' were specified.
    '..' is processed by removing the immediately previous pathname component
    back to a slash or the beginning of DIR.

    Exit Status:
    Returns 0 if the directory is changed, and if $PWD is set successfully when
    -P is used; non-zero otherwise.

no caso do PWD é possivel utilizar man PWD, help PWD e PWD --help. Por padrão para obter ajuda para shell builtins devemos utilizar o comando help segundo o curso. Apesar de não ser uma regra, normalmente os shell builtins não suportam a opção --help, até onde eu entendi não tem um padrão especifico, mas como se tivesse. kkkk
