The other shells are also not uniform about the issue: zsh removes the variables from the environment; bash and dash preserve them. I would say that keeping the variables in the environment but not allowing them to be changed/accessed from within the shell itself corresponds better to the POSIX's "tolerate". But I agree that it's not very fortunate formulation. -- Tomáš Smetana Sr. Software Maintenance Engineer, Red Hat RH IRC: #brno #devel #base-os #seg-team; Freenode IRC: #fedora-devel _______________________________________________ ast-users mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-users
