Man page output

man bash
[...]
        .  filename [arguments]
       source filename [arguments]
              Read and execute commands from filename in the current shell environment and return
              the  exit  status of the last command executed from filename.  If filename does not
              contain a slash, filenames in PATH are used to find the directory containing  file-
              name.   The  file searched for in PATH need not be executable.  When bash is not in
              posix mode, the current directory is searched if no file is found in PATH.  If  the
              sourcepath  option  to  the  shopt  builtin  command is turned off, the PATH is not
              searched.  If any arguments are supplied, they  become  the  positional  parameters
              when  filename is executed.  Otherwise the positional parameters are unchanged.  If
              the -T option is enabled, source inherits any trap on DEBUG; if it is not, any  DE-
              BUG  trap string is saved and restored around the call to source, and source unsets
              the DEBUG trap while it executes.  If -T is not set, and the sourced  file  changes
              the DEBUG trap, the new value is retained when source completes.  The return status
              is the status of the last command exited within the script (0 if  no  commands  are
              executed), and false if filename is not found or cannot be read.
