Commands
Here is a list of commands. The 2nd and 3rd columns say whether or not the command
exists within Grub Legacy and Grub 2 respectively. If the command doesn't exist, but
the functionality is implemented using a different command name or method, the column
will contain the keyword 'replaced'.
