Package: dash
Version: 0.5.3-7
Severity: important
Hello,
The dash(1) in Debian stable does not support "set +o" in the manner
specified by SUSv3:
|+o
| Write the current option settings to standard output in a format
| that is suitable for reinput to the shell as commands that
| achieve the same options settings.
(citation from
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/set.html)
Instead, dash's "set +o" prints the shell's options in a
human-readable format.
Here is a simple test program that exercises this feature; it works as
I believe is required under bash, but not under dash.
# Save the shell's options
set +o > /tmp/settings-commands
set -o | sort > /tmp/settings-before
# Change some options.
set -v
set -f
set -x
set +o emacs
set -o vi
# Try to restore our options.
. /tmp/settings-commands
set -o | sort > /tmp/settings-after
# Compare.
diff /tmp/settings-before /tmp/settings-after
I believe the following small patch adds this feature to dash, and
documents it in the manual page:

If options are given, it sets the specified option
flags, or clears them as described in the section called
.Sx Argument List Processing .
+As a special case, if the option is -o or +o and no argument is
+supplied, the shell prints the settings of all its options. If the
+option is -o, the settings are printed in a human-readable format; if
+the option is +o, the settings are printed in a format suitable for

The third use of the set command is to set the values of the shell's
positional parameters to the specified args.
