If _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e does not contain a slash, pathnames in PPPPAAAATTTTHHHH are used to find the directory containing _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e. The file searched for in PPPPAAAATTTTHHHH need not be executable. The current directory is searched if no file is found in PPPPAAAATTTTHHHH. If any _a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s are supplied, they become the positional parameters when _f_i_l_e is executed. Otherwise the positional parameters are unchanged.

Only builtin commands or commands found in the PPPPAAAATTTTHHHH are executed. If the ----pppp option is given, the search for _c_o_m_m_a_n_d is performed using a default value for PPPPAAAATTTTHHHH that is guaranteed to find all of the standard utilities. If either the ----VVVV or ----vvvv option is supplied, a description of _c_o_m_m_a_n_d is printed. The ----vvvv option causes a single word indicating the command or pathname used to invoke _c_o_m_m_a_n_d to be printed; the ----VVVV option produces a more verbose description. An argument of -------- disables option checking for the rest of the arguments. If the ----VVVV or ----vvvv option is supplied, the exit status is 0 if _c_o_m_m_a_n_d was found, and 1 if not. If neither option is supplied and an error occurred or _c_o_m_m_a_n_d cannot be found, the exit status is 127. Otherwise, the exit status of the ccccoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd builtin is the exit status of _c_o_m_m_a_n_d. ccccoooonnnnttttiiiinnnnuuuueeee [_n] Resume the next iteration of the enclosing ffffoooorrrr, wwwwhhhhiiiilllleeee, or uuuunnnnttttiiiillll loop.

The return value is 0 unless an illegal option is supplied or _n indexes beyond the end of the directory stack. eeeecccchhhhoooo [----nnnneeeeEEEE] [_a_r_g ...] Output the _a_r_gs, separated by spaces. The return status is always 0. If ----nnnn is specified, the trailing newline is suppressed. If the ----eeee option is given, interpretation of the following backslash-escaped characters is enabled.

If only ----aaaallllllll is supplied, the list printed includes all builtins, with an indication of whether or not each is enabled. eeeennnnaaaabbbblllleeee accepts ----aaaa as a synonym for ----aaaallllllll. The return value is 0 unless a _n_a_m_e is not a shell builtin. eeeevvvvaaaallll [_a_r_g ...] The _a_r_gs are read and concatenated together into a single command. This command is then read and executed by the shell, and its exit status is returned as the value of the eeeevvvvaaaallll command. If there are no _a_r_g_s, or only null arguments, eeeevvvvaaaallll returns true. eeeexxxxeeeecccc [[----] _c_o_m_m_a_n_d [_a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s]] If _c_o_m_m_a_n_d is specified, it replaces the shell. No new process is created. The _a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s become the arguments to _c_o_m_m_a_n_d. If the first argument is ----, the shell places a dash in the zeroth arg passed to _c_o_m_m_a_n_d. This is what login does. If the file cannot be executed for some reason, a non-interactive shell exits, unless the shell variable nnnnoooo____eeeexxxxiiiitttt____oooonnnn____ffffaaaaiiiilllleeeedddd____eeeexxxxeeeecccc exists, in which case it returns failure. An interactive shell returns failure if the file cannot be executed. If _c_o_m_m_a_n_d is not specified, any redirections take effect in the current shell, and the return status is 0. eeeexxxxiiiitttt [_n] Cause the shell to exit with a status of _n. If _n is omitted, the exit status is that of the last command executed. A trap on EEEEXXXXIIIITTTT is executed before the shell terminates. eeeexxxxppppoooorrrrtttt [----nnnnffff] [_n_a_m_e[=_w_o_r_d]] ... eeeexxxxppppoooorrrrtttt ----pppp The supplied _n_a_m_e_s are marked for automatic export to the environment of subsequently executed commands. If the ----ffff option is given, the _n_a_m_e_s refer to functions. If no _n_a_m_e_s are given, or if the ----pppp option is supplied, a list of all names that are exported in this shell is printed. The ----nnnn option causes the export property to be removed from the named variables. An argument of -------- disables option checking for the rest of the arguments. eeeexxxxppppoooorrrrtttt returns an exit status of 0 unless an illegal option is encountered, one of the _n_a_m_e_s is not a legal shell variable name, or ----ffff is supplied with a _n_a_m_e that is not a function. ffffcccc [----eeee _e_n_a_m_e] [----nnnnllllrrrr] [_f_i_r_s_t] [_l_a_s_t] ffffcccc ----ssss [_p_a_t=_r_e_p] [_c_m_d] Fix Command.

If _l_a_s_t is not specified it is set to the current command for listing (so that ffffcccc ----llll ----11110000 prints the last 10 commands) and to _f_i_r_s_t otherwise. If _f_i_r_s_t is not specified it is set to the previous command for editing and -16 for listing. The ----nnnn flag suppresses the command numbers when listing. The ----rrrr flag reverses the order of the commands. If the ----llll flag is given, the commands are listed on standard output. Otherwise, the editor given by _e_n_a_m_e is invoked on a file containing those commands. If _e_n_a_m_e is not given, the value of the FFFFCCCCEEEEDDDDIIIITTTT variable is used, and the value of EEEEDDDDIIIITTTTOOOORRRR if FFFFCCCCEEEEDDDDIIIITTTT is not set. If neither variable is set, is used. When editing is complete, the edited commands are echoed and executed. In the second form, _c_o_m_m_a_n_d is re-executed after each instance of _p_a_t is replaced by _r_e_p. A useful alias to use with this is ``r=fc -s'', so that typing ``r cc'' runs the last command beginning with ``cc'' and typing ``r'' re-executes the last command. If the first form is used, the return value is 0 unless an illegal option is encountered or _f_i_r_s_t or _l_a_s_t specify history lines out of range. If the ----eeee option is supplied, the return value is the value of the last command executed or failure if an error occurs with the temporary file of commands. If the second form is used, the return status is that of the command re- executed, unless _c_m_d does not specify a valid history line, in which case ffffcccc returns failure. ffffgggg [_j_o_b_s_p_e_c] Place _j_o_b_s_p_e_c in the foreground, and make it the current job. If _j_o_b_s_p_e_c is not present, the shell's notion of the _c_u_r_r_e_n_t _j_o_b is used. The return value is that of the command placed into the foreground, or failure if run when job control is disabled or, when run with job control enabled, if _j_o_b_s_p_e_c does not specify a valid job or _j_o_b_s_p_e_c specifies a job that was started without job control. ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss _o_p_t_s_t_r_i_n_g _n_a_m_e [_a_r_g_s] ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss is used by shell procedures to parse positional parameters. _o_p_t_s_t_r_i_n_g contains the option letters to be recognized; if a letter is followed by a colon, the option is expected to have an argument, which should be Page 6 (printed 7/7/95) BBBBAAAASSSSHHHH____BBBBUUUUIIIILLLLTTTTIIIINNNNSSSS((((1111)))) GGGGNNNNUUUU ((((1111999999993333 SSSSeeeepppptttteeeemmmmbbbbeeeerrrr 11116666)))) BBBBAAAASSSSHHHH____BBBBUUUUIIIILLLLTTTTIIIINNNNSSSS((((1111)))) separated from it by white space. Each time it is invoked, ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss places the next option in the shell variable _n_a_m_e, initializing _n_a_m_e if it does not exist, and the index of the next argument to be processed into the variable OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIINNNNDDDD. OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIINNNNDDDD is initialized to 1 each time the shell or a shell script is invoked. When an option requires an argument, ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss places that argument into the variable OOOOPPPPTTTTAAAARRRRGGGG. The shell does not reset OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIINNNNDDDD automatically; it must be manually reset between multiple calls to ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss within the same shell invocation if a new set of parameters is to be used. ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss can report errors in two ways. If the first character of _o_p_t_s_t_r_i_n_g is a colon, _s_i_l_e_n_t error reporting is used. In normal operation diagnostic messages are printed when illegal options or missing option arguments are encountered. If the variable OOOOPPPPTTTTEEEERRRRRRRR is set to 0, no error message will be displayed, even if the first character of _o_p_t_s_t_r_i_n_g is not a colon. If an illegal option is seen, ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss places ? into _n_a_m_e and, if not silent, prints an error message and unsets OOOOPPPPTTTTAAAARRRRGGGG. If ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss is silent, the option character found is placed in OOOOPPPPTTTTAAAARRRRGGGG and no diagnostic message is printed. If a required argument is not found, and ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss is not silent, a question mark (????) is placed in _n_a_m_e, OOOOPPPPTTTTAAAARRRRGGGG is unset, and a diagnostic message is printed. If ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss is silent, then a colon (::::) is placed in _n_a_m_e and OOOOPPPPTTTTAAAARRRRGGGG is set to the option character found. ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss normally parses the positional parameters, but if more arguments are given in _a_r_g_s, ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss parses those instead. ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss returns true if an option, specified or unspecified, is found. It returns false if the end of options is encountered or an error occurs. hhhhaaaasssshhhh [----rrrr] [_n_a_m_e] For each _n_a_m_e, the full pathname of the command is determined and remembered. The ----rrrr option causes the shell to forget all remembered locations. If no arguments are given, information about remembered commands is printed.
