Subject: Bug or feature?
Date: Mon, 19 Aug 1991 06:22:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9108191122.AA01307@dahlie.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de> (raw)

I was just playing around with rc (1.1gamma) and discovered this (strange?)
behaviour:

1) If I define a function fn like "fn fn { printenv | grep '^fn_' }"
   the output is always nothing and it is impossible to define a new
   function, because fn now has a different meaning. Bug or feature?

2) Why doesn't this work:
   fn prompt {	if(~ ($status) 1 2 3){
		prompt=('err ' '>> ')
	} else	prompt=('ok ' '>> ')}
   I want the prompt to show "err " if the last command returned 1,2 or 3,
   else "ok ".
