Subject: Interpret Parameter Value at Time of Function Definition
Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2017 09:47:58 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACeGjnVYHHZHrGcZzMeaEq-feeuG9XShK5AM9XzAs8t+W6xCZA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I think zsh interprets the value of a shell variable when a function is
run, but I would like to set the value when the function is read.

E.g:

$ aaa=bbb
$ function t {
    print aaa = \"$aaa\"
  }
$ t
aaa = "bbb"
$ aaa=ccc t
aaa = "ccc"

I would like to interpret $aaa at read time, so that:

    aaa=ccc t

would print:

    aaa = "bbb"

How do I do that?

Thanks,
  Vin
