Subject: Minor export oddity
Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2001 03:50:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1010621035006.ZM1345@candle.brasslantern.com> (raw)
It's possible to export parameters named "1", "2", etc., but it's not
possible to assign values to them. You have to export them with typeset
to get them to actually appear in the environment. So:
schaefer[501] export 1=bar
BUG: parameter recreated with wrong flags
export: 1: can't assign initial value for array
schaefer[502] typeset -gx 1=baz
BUG: parameter recreated with wrong flags
typeset: 1: can't assign initial value for array
And:
schaefer[508] foo() { typeset -gx 1 ; printenv | grep ^1 }
schaefer[509] foo
1=
schaefer[510] export 2
schaefer[511] printenv | grep ^2
schaefer[512] typeset -gx 2
schaefer[513] printenv | grep ^2
2=
