Description: The <i>unset</i> special built-in utility's NAME section is: <blockquote>unset — unset values and attributes of variables and functions</blockquote> and traditional implementations of <i>unset</i> do indeed unset variables and remove the export attribute from variables that are unset. But the DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS, OPERANDS, EXTENDED DESCRIPTION, APPLICATION USAGE, EXAMPLE, and RATIONALE sections do not mention attributes.
The standard does not provide any mechanism to export a function definition nor to make a function definition read-only, but the function definition command rationale mentions that some shells allow functions to be exported as an extension. Desired Action: On P 2395, L76342 (1st paragraph of unset DESCRIPTION section) change: <blockquote>Each variable or function specified by name shall be unset.</blockquote> to: <blockquote>The <i>unset</i> utility shall unset each variable or function definition specified by <i>name</i> and unset any attributes that have been given to <i>name</i> (see section 2.14 <i>export</i> and <i>readonly</i>). ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2016-09-08 20:08 Don Cragun New Issue 2016-09-08 20:08 Don Cragun Name => Donald Cragun 2016-09-08 20:08 Don Cragun Organization => Self 2016-09-08 20:08 Don Cragun Section => 2.14 Special Built-in Utilities -- unset 2016-09-08 20:08 Don Cragun Page Number => 2395 2016-09-08 20:08 Don Cragun Line Number => 76338-76355 2016-09-08 20:08 Don Cragun Interp Status => --- ======================================================================
