|
: [arguments]
|
No effect; the command does nothing beyond expanding arguments and
performing any specified redirections. A zero exit code is returned.
|
|
. filename [arguments]
|
Read and execute commands from
filename in the current shell environment and
|
|
source filename [arguments]
|
return the exit status of the last command executed from
filename. If filename does not contain a slash, pathnames in
PATH are used to find the directory containing filename. The file searched for in
PATH need not be executable. The current directory is searched if no file is found in
PATH. If any arguments are supplied, they become
the positional parameters when file is executed. Otherwise, the positional
parameters are unchanged. 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.
|
|
alias [name[=value] ...]
|
alias with no arguments prints the list of aliases in the form
name=value on standard output. When arguments are supplied, an alias is defined for each name whose
value is given. A trailing space in value causes the next word to be checked for
alias substitution when the alias is expanded. For each name in the argument list
for which no value is supplied, the name and value of the alias is printed.
alias returns True unless a name is given for which no alias has been defined.
|
|
bg [jobspec]
|
Place jobspec in the background, as if it had been started with
&. If jobspec is not present, the shell's notion of the current job is used.
bg jobspec returns 0 unless run when job control is disabled or, when run with job control enabled, if
jobspec was not found or started without job control.
|
|
bind [_m keymap][_lvd][-q name]
|
Display current
readline key and function bindings, or bind a key sequence to a
|
|
bind [_m keymap] -f filename
|
readline function or macro. The binding syntax accepted is identical to that of
|
|
bind [_m keymap]
|
.inputrc, but each binding must be passed as a separate argument; for example,
|
|
keyseq:function-name
|
"\C-x\C-r":re_read_init_file. Options, if supplied, have the following meanings:
|
|
|
_m keymap
|
Use keymap as the keymap to be affected by the
subsequent bindings. Acceptable keymap names are
emacs, emacs-standard, emacs-meta, emacs-ctlx, vi,
vi-move, vi-command, and vi-insert. vi is equivalent to
vi-command; emacs is equivalent to emacs-standard.
|
|
|
_l
|
List the names of all readline functions.
|
|
|
_v
|
List current function names and bindings.
|
|
|
_d
|
Dump function names and bindings in such a way that
they can be reread.
|
|
|
_f filename
|
Read key bindings from filename.
|
|
|
_q function
|
Query about which keys invoke the named function.
|
|
|
The return value is 0 unless an unrecognized option is given or an error occurred.
|
|
break [n]
|
Exit from within a for, while, or
until loop. If n is specified, break n levels. n
must be 1. If n is greater than the number of enclosing loops, all enclosing loops
are exited. The return value is 0 unless the shell is not executing a loop when break
is executed.
|
|
builtin shell_builtin [arguments]
|
Execute the specified shell builtin, passing it arguments, and return its exit
status. This is useful when you wish to define a function whose name is the same as a
shell builtin, but need the functionality of the builtin within the function itself. The
cd builtin is commonly redefined this way. The return status is
False if shell_builtin is not a shell builtin command.
|
|
cd [dir]
|
Change the current directory to
dir. The variable HOME is the default dir. The variable
CDPATH defines the search path for the directory containing
dir. Alternative directory names are separated by a colon
(:). A null directory name in CDPATH is the same as the current directory, that is, (.). If
dir begins with a slash (/), then CDPATH is
|
|
|
not used. An argument of _ is equivalent to
$OLDPWD. The return value is True if the directory was successfully changed;
False otherwise.
|
|
command [-pVv] command [arg ...]
|
Run command
with args suppressing the normal shell function lookup. Only
built-in commands or commands found in the PATH are executed. If the
_p option is given, the search for command is performed using a default value for
PATH that is guaranteed to find all of the standard utilities. If either the
_V or _v option is supplied, a description of
command is printed. The _v option causes a single word indicating
the command or pathname used to invoke command to be printed; the
_V option produces a more verbose description. An argument of
—disables option checking for the rest of the arguments. If the
_V or _v option is supplied, the exit status is 0
if command was found, and 1 if not. If neither option
is supplied and an error occurred or command cannot be found, the exit status is
127. Otherwise, the exit status of the command builtin is the exit status of
command.
|
|
continue [n]
|
Resume the next iteration of the enclosing
for, while, or until loop. If n is specified, resume at the nth enclosing loop.
n must be 1. If n is greater than the number of enclosing loops, the last enclosing loop (the top_level loop) is resumed. The
return value is 0 unless the shell is not executing a loop when
continue is executed.
|
|
declare [_frxi][name[=value]]
|
Declare variables and/or
give them attributes. If no names are given, then display the
|
|
typeset [_frxi][name[=value]]
|
values of variables instead. The options can be used to restrict output to
variables with the specified attribute.
