How wide spread is the term Sundang

Perhaps the term sundang doesn't necessarily apply to the sword style or type, but rather to its nature or intention. I've asked my father and other relatives about "bolos" and that term describes a number of different long-knife/sword types generally used for utility and work. But when the term "sundang" is used, it generally applies to a purpose made fighting weapon not a utility "bolo."
