Subject: Exporting arrays
Date: Sun, 11 Jan 1998 18:16:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19980111181603.60292@thelonious.new.ox.ac.uk> (raw)
% foo=(a b c)
% typeset | grep zzz
array foo=(a b c)
% export foo=(a b c)
% typeset | grep zzz
array exported foo=(a b c)
However,
% unset foo
% export foo=(a b c)
% typeset | grep zzz
exported foo='(a b c)'
Presumably there's a decent reason for this behaviour; would
someone be good enough to explain it to me?
