Incompatible? ... in which way?
myfunction () {
... add your statements here
}
... that should work with ash and bash and other compatible shells too.
You just need to have an eye on your function names. As far as I know
the standard says such names allow only letters, digits and underline.
bash allows some other characters to be included in function names, so
you need to avoid those.
... so why do you think functions are incompatible between bash and ash?
