Did you consult the manual? "man "zshbuiltins" says:

       type [ -wfpams ] name ...
              Equivalent to whence -v.

       whence [ -vcwfpams ] name ...
              For each name, indicate how it would be interpreted if used as
              a command name.

              -v     Produce a more verbose report.

              -c     Print  the  results  in  a  csh-like  format.  This
                     takes precedence over -v.

              -w     For each name, print `name: word' where word  is one  of
                     alias,  builtin,  command,  function, hashed, reserved
                     or none, according  as  name  corresponds  to  an alias,
                     a built-in  command, an external command, a shell
                     function, a command defined with the hash builtin, a
                     reserved word, or  is not recognised.  This takes
                     precedence over -v and -c.

              -f     Causes the contents of a shell function to be
                     displayed, which  would otherwise not happen unless the
                     -c flag were used.

              -p     Do a path search  for  name  even  if  it  is  an
                     alias, reserved word, shell function or builtin.

              -a     Do  a  search  for all occurrences of name throughout
                     the command path.  Normally  only  the  first occurrence
                     is printed.
              -m     The  arguments  are taken as patterns (should be
                     quoted), and the information is displayed for each
                     command match- ing one of these patterns.

              -s     If  a  pathname contains symlinks, print the symlink-free
                     pathname as well.

That may cover your needs anyway. (I'm a zsh user and only use bash
when I have too.)

Cheers,
