Not for me it doesn't. % bash bash-3.2$ function f() { echo hi } bash-3.2$ export f bash-3.2$ bash bash-3.2$ f bash-3.2$ I added the 'builtin' command, which did leave the labs. But I added it as a way for the "whatis" command to show a builtin, as well as allowing a way to guarantee you get the builtin on execution. How do I get bash to print the function as (shell) source code, so I could edit it and play with it again? It was the synergy of all this stuff connected seamlessly that made it so compelling. -rob On Sun, Feb 9, 2020 at 10:02 AM Chet Ramey wrote: > On 2/8/20 5:54 PM, Rob Pike wrote: > > Like exportable functions and output that's valid input, so it works well > > with an editable typescript. > > Bash has both of those things. > > -- > ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer > ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates > Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRU chet@case.edu http://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/ >
