When I check the ls command, there exist a series of them:



$ type -a ls
ls is /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/ls
ls is /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/ls
ls is /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/ls
ls is /bin/ls


If view them from the folder



$ ls /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/ | grep "ls"
false
ls


It's single one ls command rather than three.



What's the reason, type -a produce three identical /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/ls?
