export ENV" -. -.Pp -The first non-option argument specified on the command line -will be treated as the -name of a file from which to read commands (a shell script), and -the remaining arguments are set as the positional parameters -of the shell -.Li ( $1 , $2 , -etc.). -Otherwise, the shell reads commands -from its standard input. -. -.Pp -Unlike older versions of -.Xr sh 1 -the -.Ev ENV -script is only sourced on invocation of interactive shells. -This -closes a well-known, and sometimes easily exploitable security -hole related to poorly thought out -.Ev ENV -scripts. -. -.Ss Argument List Processing -All of the single letter options to -.Nm -have a corresponding long name, -with the exception of -.Fl c -and -.Fl /+o . -These long names are provided next to the single letter options -in the descriptions below. -The long name for an option may be specified as an argument to the -.Fl /+o -option of -.Nm . -Once the shell is running, -the long name for an option may be specified as an argument to the -.Fl /+o -option of the -.Ic set -built-in command -(described later in the section called -.Sx Built-in Commands ) . -Introducing an option with a dash -.Pq Ql - -enables the option, -while using a plus -.Pq Ql + -disables the option. -A -.Dq Li -- -or plain -.Ql - -will stop option processing and will force the remaining -words on the command line to be treated as arguments. -The -.Fl /+o -and -.Fl c -options do not have long names. -They take arguments and are described after the single letter options. -. -.Bl -tag -width indent -.It Fl a Li allexport -Flag variables for export when assignments are made to them. -. -.It Fl b Li notify -Enable asynchronous notification of background job -completion. -(UNIMPLEMENTED) -. -.It Fl C Li noclobber -Do not overwrite existing files with -.Ql > . -. -.It Fl E Li emacs -Enable the built-in -.Xr emacs 1 -command line editor (disables the -.Fl V -option if it has been set; -set automatically when interactive on terminals). -. -.It Fl e Li errexit -Exit immediately if any untested command fails in non-interactive mode. -The exit status of a command is considered to be -explicitly tested if the command is part of the list used to control -an -.Ic if , elif , while , -or -.Ic until ; -if the command is the left -hand operand of an -.Dq Li && -or -.Dq Li || -operator; or if the command is a pipeline preceded by the -.Ic !\& -keyword. -If a shell function is executed and its exit status is explicitly -tested, all commands of the function are considered to be tested as -well. -. -.Pp -It is recommended to check for failures explicitly -instead of relying on -.Fl e -because it tends to behave in unexpected ways, -particularly in larger scripts. -. -.It Fl f Li noglob -Disable pathname expansion. -. -.It Fl h Li trackall -A do-nothing option for POSIX compliance. -. -.It Fl I Li ignoreeof -Ignore -.Dv EOF Ap s -from input when in interactive mode. -. -.It Fl i Li interactive -Force the shell to behave interactively. -. -.It Fl m Li monitor -Turn on job control (set automatically when interactive). -A new process group is created for each pipeline (called a job). -It is possible to suspend jobs or to have them run in the foreground or -in the background. -In a non-interactive shell, -this option can be set even if no terminal is available -and is useful to place processes in separate process groups. -. -.It Fl n Li noexec -If not interactive, read commands but do not -execute them. -This is useful for checking the -syntax of shell scripts. -. -.It Fl P Li physical -Change the default for the -.Ic cd -and -.Ic pwd -commands from -.Fl L -(logical directory layout) -to -.Fl P -(physical directory layout). -. -.It Fl p Li privileged -Turn on privileged mode. -This mode is enabled on startup -if either the effective user or group ID is not equal to the -real user or group ID. -Turning this mode off sets the -effective user and group IDs to the real user and group IDs. -When this mode is enabled for interactive shells, the file -.Pa /etc/suid_profile -is sourced instead of -.Pa ~/.profile -after -.Pa /etc/profile -is sourced, and the contents of the -.Ev ENV -variable are ignored. -. -.It Fl s Li stdin -Read commands from standard input (set automatically -if no file arguments are present). -This option has -no effect when set after the shell has already started -running (i.e., when set with the -.Ic set -command). -. -.It Fl T Li trapsasync -When waiting for a child, execute traps immediately. -If this option is not set, -traps are executed after the child exits, -as specified in -.St -p1003.2 . -This nonstandard option is useful for putting guarding shells around -children that block signals. -The surrounding shell may kill the child -or it may just return control to the tty and leave the child alone, -like this: -.Bd -literal -offset indent -1sh -T -c "trap 'exit 1' 2 ; some-blocking-program" -.Ed -. -.It Fl u Li nounset -Write a message to standard error when attempting -to expand a variable, a positional parameter or -the special parameter -.Va \&! -that is not set, and if the -shell is not interactive, exit immediately. -. -.It Fl V Li vi -Enable the built-in -.Xr vi 1 -command line editor (disables -.Fl E -if it has been set). -. -.It Fl v Li verbose -The shell writes its input to standard error -as it is read. -Useful for debugging. -. -.It Fl x Li xtrace -Write each command -(preceded by the value of the -.Va PS4 -variable subjected to parameter expansion and arithmetic expansion) -to standard error before it is executed. -Useful for debugging. -. -.It Li nolog -Another do-nothing option for POSIX compliance. -It only has a long name. -.El -. -.Pp -The -.Fl c -option causes the commands to be read from the -.Ar string -operand instead of from the standard input. -Keep in mind that this option only accepts a single string as its -argument, hence multi-word strings must be quoted. -. -.Pp -The -.Fl /+o -option takes as its only argument the long name of an option -to be enabled or disabled. -For example, the following two invocations of -.Nm -both enable the built-in -.Xr emacs 1 -command line editor: -.Bd -literal -offset indent -set -E -set -o emacs -.Ed -. -.Pp -If used without an argument, the -.Fl o -option displays the current option settings in a human-readable format. -If -.Cm +o -is used without an argument, the current option settings are output -in a format suitable for re-input into the shell. -. -.Ss Lexical Structure -The shell reads input in terms of lines from a file and breaks -it up into words at whitespace (blanks and tabs), and at -certain sequences of -characters called -.Dq operators , -which are special to the shell. -There are two types of operators: control operators and -redirection operators (their meaning is discussed later). -The following is a list of valid operators: -. -.Bl -tag -width indent -.It Control operators: -.Bl -column "XXX" "XXX" "XXX" "XXX" "XXX" -offset center -compact -.It Li & Ta Li && Ta Li \&( Ta Li \&) Ta Li \en -.It Li ;; Ta Li ;& Ta Li \&; Ta Li \&| Ta Li || -.El -. -.It Redirection operators: -.Bl -column "XXX" "XXX" "XXX" "XXX" "XXX" -offset center -compact -.It Li < Ta Li > Ta Li << Ta Li >> Ta Li <> -.It Li <& Ta Li >& Ta Li <<- Ta Li >| Ta \& -.El -.El -. -.Pp -The character -.Ql # -introduces a comment if used at the beginning of a word. -The word starting with -.Ql # -and the rest of the line are ignored. -. -.Pp -ASCII -.Dv NUL -characters (character code 0) are not allowed in shell input. -. -.Ss Quoting -Quoting is used to remove the special meaning of certain characters -or words to the shell, such as operators, whitespace, keywords, -or alias names. -. -.Pp -There are four types of quoting: matched single quotes, -dollar-single quotes, -matched double quotes, and backslash. -. -.Bl -tag -width indent -.It Single Quotes -Enclosing characters in single quotes preserves the literal -meaning of all the characters (except single quotes, making -it impossible to put single-quotes in a single-quoted string). -. -.It Dollar-Single Quotes -Enclosing characters between -.Li $' -and -.Li ' -preserves the literal meaning of all characters -except backslashes and single quotes. -A backslash introduces a C-style escape sequence: -. -.Bl -tag -width xUnnnnnnnn -.It \ea -Alert (ring the terminal bell) -.It \eb -Backspace -.It \ec Ns Ar c -The control character denoted by -.Li ^ Ns Ar c -in -.Xr stty 1 . -If -.Ar c -is a backslash, it must be doubled. -.It \ee -The ESC character (ASCII 0x1b) -.It \ef -Formfeed -.It \en -Newline -.It \er -Carriage return -.It \et -Horizontal tab -.It \ev -Vertical tab -.It \e\e -Literal backslash -.It \e\&' -Literal single-quote -.It \e\&" -Literal double-quote -.It \e Ns Ar nnn -The byte whose octal value is -.Ar nnn -(one to three digits) -.It \ex Ns Ar nn -The byte whose hexadecimal value is -.Ar nn -(one or more digits only the last two of which are used) -.It \eu Ns Ar nnnn -The Unicode code point -.Ar nnnn -(four hexadecimal digits) -.It \eU Ns Ar nnnnnnnn -The Unicode code point -.Ar nnnnnnnn -(eight hexadecimal digits) -.El -. -.Pp -The sequences for Unicode code points are currently only useful with -UTF-8 locales. -They reject code point 0 and UTF-16 surrogates. -. -.Pp -If an escape sequence would produce a byte with value 0, -that byte and the rest of the string until the matching single-quote -are ignored. -. -.Pp -Any other string starting with a backslash is an error. -. -.It Double Quotes -Enclosing characters within double quotes preserves the literal -meaning of all characters except dollar sign -.Pq Ql $ , -backquote -.Pq Ql ` , -and backslash -.Pq Ql \e . -The backslash inside double quotes is historically weird. -It remains literal unless it precedes the following characters, -which it serves to quote: -. -.Pp -.Bl -column "XXX" "XXX" "XXX" "XXX" "XXX" -offset center -compact -.It Li $ Ta Li ` Ta Li \&" Ta Li \e Ta Li \en -.El -. -.It Backslash -A backslash preserves the literal meaning of the following -character, with the exception of the newline character -.Pq Ql \en . -A backslash preceding a newline is treated as a line continuation. -.El -. -.Ss Keywords -Keywords or reserved words are words that have special meaning to the -shell and are recognized at the beginning of a line and -after a control operator. -The following are keywords: -.Bl -column "doneXX" "elifXX" "elseXX" "untilXX" "whileX" -offset center -.It Li \&! Ta { Ta } Ta Ic case Ta Ic do -.It Ic done Ta Ic elif Ta Ic else Ta Ic esac Ta Ic fi -.It Ic for Ta Ic if Ta Ic then Ta Ic until Ta Ic while -.El -. -.Ss Aliases -An alias is a name and corresponding value set using the -.Ic alias -built-in command. -Wherever the command word of a simple command may occur, -and after checking for keywords if a keyword may occur, the shell -checks the word to see if it matches an alias. -If it does, it replaces it in the input stream with its value. -For example, if there is an alias called -.Dq Li lf -with the value -.Dq Li "ls -F" , -then the input -.Pp -.Dl "lf foobar" -.Pp -would become -.Pp -.Dl "ls -F foobar" -. -.Pp -Aliases are also recognized after an alias -whose value ends with a space or tab. -For example, if there is also an alias called -.Dq Li nohup -with the value -.Dq Li "nohup " , -then the input -.Pp -.Dl "nohup lf foobar" -.Pp -would become -.Pp -.Dl "nohup ls -F foobar" -. -.Pp -Aliases provide a convenient way for naive users to -create shorthands for commands without having to learn how -to create functions with arguments. -Using aliases in scripts is discouraged -because the command that defines them must be executed -before the code that uses them is parsed. -This is fragile and not portable. -. -.Pp -An alias name may be escaped in a command line, so that it is not -replaced by its alias value, by using quoting characters within or -adjacent to the alias name. -This is most often done by prefixing -an alias name with a backslash to execute a function, built-in, or -normal program with the same name. -See the -.Sx Quoting -subsection. -. -.Ss Commands -The shell interprets the words it reads according to a -language, the specification of which is outside the scope -of this man page (refer to the BNF in the -.St -p1003.2 -document). -Essentially though, a line is read and if -the first word of the line (or after a control operator) -is not a keyword, then the shell has recognized a -simple command. -Otherwise, a complex command or some -other special construct may have been recognized. -. -.Ss Simple Commands -If a simple command has been recognized, the shell performs -the following actions: -. -.Bl -enum -.It -Leading words of the form -.Dq Li name=value -are stripped off and assigned to the environment of -the simple command -(they do not affect expansions). -Redirection operators and -their arguments (as described below) are stripped -off and saved for processing. -. -.It -The remaining words are expanded as described in -the section called -.Sx Word Expansions , -and the first remaining word is considered the command -name and the command is located. -The remaining -words are considered the arguments of the command. -If no command name resulted, then the -.Dq Li name=value -variable assignments recognized in 1) affect the -current shell. -. -.It -Redirections are performed as described in -the next section. -.El -. -.Ss Redirections -Redirections are used to change where a command reads its input -or sends its output. -In general, redirections open, close, or -duplicate an existing reference to a file. -The overall format -used for redirection is: -.Pp -.D1 Oo Ar n Oc Ar redir-op file -. -.Pp -The -.Ar redir-op -is one of the redirection operators mentioned -previously. -The following gives some examples of how these -operators can be used. -Note that stdin and stdout are commonly used abbreviations -for standard input and standard output respectively. -. -.Bl -tag -width "1234567890XX" -offset indent -.It Oo Ar n Oc Ns Li > Ar file -redirect stdout (or file descriptor -.Ar n ) -to -.Ar file -. -.It Oo Ar n Oc Ns Li >| Ar file -same as above, but override the -.Fl C -option -. -.It Oo Ar n Oc Ns Li >> Ar file -append stdout (or file descriptor -.Ar n ) -to -.Ar file -. -.It Oo Ar n Oc Ns Li < Ar file -redirect stdin (or file descriptor -.Ar n ) -from -.Ar file -. -.It Oo Ar n Oc Ns Li <> Ar file -redirect stdin (or file descriptor -.Ar n ) -to and from -.Ar file -. -.It Oo Ar n1 Oc Ns Li <& Ns Ar n2 -duplicate stdin (or file descriptor -.Ar n1 ) -from file descriptor -.Ar n2 -. -.It Oo Ar n Oc Ns Li <&- -close stdin (or file descriptor -.Ar n ) -. -.It Oo Ar n1 Oc Ns Li >& Ns Ar n2 -duplicate stdout (or file descriptor -.Ar n1 ) -to file descriptor -.Ar n2 -. -.It Oo Ar n Oc Ns Li >&- -close stdout (or file descriptor -.Ar n ) -.El -. -.Pp -The following redirection is often called a -.Dq here-document . -.Bd -unfilled -offset indent -.Oo Ar n Oc Ns Li << Ar delimiter -.Ar here-doc-text -.Ar ... -.Ar delimiter -.Ed -. -.Pp -All the text on successive lines up to the delimiter is -saved away and made available to the command on standard -input, or file descriptor -.Ar n -if it is specified. -If the -.Ar delimiter -as specified on the initial line is quoted, then the -.Ar here-doc-text -is treated literally, otherwise the text is subjected to -parameter expansion, command substitution, and arithmetic -expansion (as described in the section on -.Sx Word Expansions ) . -If the operator is -.Dq Li <<- -instead of -.Dq Li << , -then leading tabs -in the -.Ar here-doc-text -are stripped. -. -.Ss Search and Execution -There are three types of commands: shell functions, -built-in commands, and normal programs. -The command is searched for (by name) in that order. -The three types of commands are all executed in a different way. -. -.Pp -When a shell function is executed, all of the shell positional -parameters (except -.Li $0 , -which remains unchanged) are -set to the arguments of the shell function. -The variables which are explicitly placed in the environment of -the command (by placing assignments to them before the -function name) are made local to the function and are set -to the values given. -Then the command given in the function definition is executed. -The positional parameters are restored to their original values -when the command completes. -This all occurs within the current shell. -. -.Pp -Shell built-in commands are executed internally to the shell, without -spawning a new process. -There are two kinds of built-in commands: regular and special. -Assignments before special builtins persist after they finish -executing and assignment errors, redirection errors and certain -operand errors cause a script to be aborted. -Special builtins cannot be overridden with a function. -Both regular and special builtins can affect the shell in ways -normal programs cannot. -. -.Pp -Otherwise, if the command name does not match a function -or built-in command, the command is searched for as a normal -program in the file system (as described in the next section). -When a normal program is executed, the shell runs the program, -passing the arguments and the environment to the program. -If the program is not a normal executable file -(i.e., if it does not begin with the -.Dq "magic number" -whose ASCII representation is -.Dq Li #! , -resulting in an -.Er ENOEXEC -return value from -.Xr execve 2 ) -but appears to be a text file, -the shell will run a new instance of -.Nm -to interpret it. -. -.Pp -Note that previous versions of this document -and the source code itself misleadingly and sporadically -refer to a shell script without a magic number -as a -.Dq "shell procedure" . -. -.Ss Path Search -When locating a command, the shell first looks to see if -it has a shell function by that name. -Then it looks for a -built-in command by that name. -If a built-in command is not found, -one of two things happen: -. -.Bl -enum -.It -Command names containing a slash are simply executed without -performing any searches. -. -.It -The shell searches each entry in the -.Va PATH -variable -in turn for the command. -The value of the -.Va PATH -variable should be a series of -entries separated by colons. -Each entry consists of a -directory name. -The current directory -may be indicated implicitly by an empty directory name, -or explicitly by a single period. -.El -. -.Ss Command Exit Status -Each command has an exit status that can influence the behavior -of other shell commands. -The paradigm is that a command exits -with zero for normal or success, and non-zero for failure, -error, or a false indication. -The man page for each command -should indicate the various exit codes and what they mean. -Additionally, the built-in commands return exit codes, as does -an executed shell function. -. -.Pp -If a command is terminated by a signal, its exit status is greater than 128. -The signal name can be found by passing the exit status to -.Li kill -l . -. -.Pp -If there is no command word, -the exit status is the exit status of the last command substitution executed, -or zero if the command does not contain any command substitutions. -. -.Ss Complex Commands -Complex commands are combinations of simple commands -with control operators or keywords, together creating a larger complex -command. -More generally, a command is one of the following: -. -.Bl -item -offset indent -.It -simple command -.It -pipeline -.It -list or compound-list -.It -compound command -.It -function definition -.El -. -.Pp -Unless otherwise stated, the exit status of a command is -that of the last simple command executed by the command, -or zero if no simple command was executed. -. -.Ss Pipelines -A pipeline is a sequence of one or more commands separated -by the control operator -.Ql \&| . -The standard output of all but -the last command is connected to the standard input -of the next command. -The standard output of the last -command is inherited from the shell, as usual. -. -.Pp -The format for a pipeline is: -.Pp -.D1 Oo Li \&! Oc Ar command1 Op Li \&| Ar command2 ... -. -.Pp -The standard output of -.Ar command1 -is connected to the standard input of -.Ar command2 . -The standard input, standard output, or -both of a command is considered to be assigned by the -pipeline before any redirection specified by redirection -operators that are part of the command. -. -.Pp -Note that unlike some other shells, -.Nm -executes each process in a pipeline with more than one command -in a subshell environment and as a child of the -.Nm -process. -. -.Pp -If the pipeline is not in the background (discussed later), -the shell waits for all commands to complete. -. -.Pp -If the keyword -.Ic !\& -does not precede the pipeline, the -exit status is the exit status of the last command specified -in the pipeline. -Otherwise, the exit status is the logical -NOT of the exit status of the last command. -That is, if -the last command returns zero, the exit status is 1; if -the last command returns greater than zero, the exit status -is zero. -. -.Pp -Because pipeline assignment of standard input or standard -output or both takes place before redirection, it can be -modified by redirection. -For example: -.Pp -.Dl "command1 2>&1 | command2" -. -.Pp -sends both the standard output and standard error of -.Ar command1 -to the standard input of -.Ar command2 . -. -.Pp -A -.Ql \&; -or newline terminator causes the preceding -AND-OR-list -(described below in the section called -.Sx Short-Circuit List Operators ) -to be executed sequentially; -an -.Ql & -causes asynchronous execution of the preceding AND-OR-list. -. -.Ss Background Commands (&) -If a command is terminated by the control operator ampersand -.Pq Ql & , -the shell executes the command in a subshell environment (see -.Sx Grouping Commands Together -below) and asynchronously; -the shell does not wait for the command to finish -before executing the next command. -. -.Pp -The format for running a command in background is: -.Pp -.D1 Ar command1 Li & Op Ar command2 Li & Ar ... -. -.Pp -If the shell is not interactive, the standard input of an -asynchronous command is set to -.Pa /dev/null . -. -.Pp -The exit status is zero. -. -.Ss Lists (Generally Speaking) -A list is a sequence of zero or more commands separated by -newlines, semicolons, or ampersands, -and optionally terminated by one of these three characters. -The commands in a -list are executed in the order they are written. -If command is followed by an ampersand, the shell starts the -command and immediately proceeds onto the next command; -otherwise it waits for the command to terminate before -proceeding to the next one. -. -.Ss Short-Circuit List Operators -.Dq Li && -and -.Dq Li || -are AND-OR list operators. -.Dq Li && -executes the first command, and then executes the second command -if the exit status of the first command is zero. -.Dq Li || -is similar, but executes the second command if the exit -status of the first command is nonzero. -.Dq Li && -and -.Dq Li || -both have the same priority. -. -.Ss Flow-Control Constructs (if, while, for, case) -The syntax of the -.Ic if -command is: -.Bd -unfilled -offset indent -compact -.Ic if Ar list -.Ic then Ar list -.Oo Ic elif Ar list -.Ic then Ar list Oc Ar ... -.Op Ic else Ar list -.Ic fi -.Ed -. -.Pp -The exit status is that of selected -.Ic then -or -.Ic else -list, -or zero if no list was selected. -. -.Pp -The syntax of the -.Ic while -command is: -.Bd -unfilled -offset indent -compact -.Ic while Ar list -.Ic do Ar list -.Ic done -.Ed -. -.Pp -The two lists are executed repeatedly while the exit status of the -first list is zero. -The -.Ic until -command is similar, but has the word -.Ic until -in place of -.Ic while , -which causes it to -repeat until the exit status of the first list is zero. -. -.Pp -The exit status is that of the last execution of the second list, -or zero if it was never executed. -. -.Pp -The syntax of the -.Ic for -command is: -.Bd -unfilled -offset indent -compact -.Ic for Ar variable Op Ic in Ar word ... -.Ic do Ar list -.Ic done -.Ed -. -.Pp -If -.Ic in -and the following words are omitted, -.Ic in Li \&"$@\&" -is used instead. -The words are expanded, and then the list is executed -repeatedly with the variable set to each word in turn. -The -.Ic do -and -.Ic done -commands may be replaced with -.Ql { -and -.Ql } . -. -.Pp -The syntax of the -.Ic break -and -.Ic continue -commands is: -.D1 Ic break Op Ar num -.D1 Ic continue Op Ar num -. -.Pp -The -.Ic break -command terminates the -.Ar num -innermost -.Ic for -or -.Ic while -loops. -The -.Ic continue -command continues with the next iteration of the innermost loop. -These are implemented as special built-in commands. -. -.Pp -The syntax of the -.Ic case -command is: -.Bd -unfilled -offset indent -compact -.Ic case Ar word Ic in -.Ar pattern ) Ar list Li ;; -.Ar ... -.Ic esac -.Ed -. -.Pp -The pattern can actually be one or more patterns -(see -.Sx Shell Patterns -described later), -separated by -.Ql \&| -characters. -Tilde expansion, parameter expansion, command substitution, -arithmetic expansion and quote removal are applied to the word. -Then, each pattern is expanded in turn using tilde expansion, -parameter expansion, command substitution and arithmetic expansion and -the expanded form of the word is checked against it. -If a match is found, the corresponding list is executed. -If the selected list is terminated by the control operator -.Ql ;& -instead of -.Ql ;;

in the section called -.Sx Argument List Processing . -. -.It -If the -.Dq Fl - -option is specified, -.Ic set -will replace the shell's positional parameters with the subsequent -arguments. -If no arguments follow the -.Dq Fl - -option, -all the positional parameters will be cleared, -which is equivalent to executing the command -.Dq Li "shift $#" . -The -.Dq Fl - -flag may be omitted when specifying arguments to be used -as positional replacement parameters. -This is not recommended, -because the first argument may begin with a dash -.Pq Ql - -or a plus -.Pq Ql + , -which the -.Ic set -command will interpret as a request to enable or disable options. -.El -. -.It Ic setvar Ar variable value -Assigns the specified -.Ar value -to the specified -.Ar variable . -The -.Ic setvar -command is intended to be used in functions that -assign values to variables whose names are passed as parameters. -In general it is better to write -.Dq Ar variable Ns = Ns Ar value -rather than using -.Ic setvar . -. -.It Ic shift Op Ar n -Shift the positional parameters -.Ar n -times, or once if -.Ar n -is not specified. -A shift sets the value of -.Li $1 -to the value of -.Li $2 , -the value of -.Li $2 -to the value of -.Li $3 , -and so on, -decreasing the value of -.Li $# -by one. -For portability, shifting if there are zero positional parameters -should be avoided, since the shell may abort. -. -.It Ic test -A built-in equivalent of -.Xr test 1 . -This version is documented in -.Xr 1sh-test 1 . -. -.It Ic times -Print the amount of time spent executing the shell process and its children. -The first output line shows the user and system times for the shell process -itself, the second one contains the user and system times for the -children. -. -.It Ic trap Oo Ar action Oc Ar signal ... -.It Ic trap Fl l -Cause the shell to parse and execute -.Ar action -when any specified -.Ar signal -is received. -The signals are specified by name or number. -In addition, the pseudo-signal -.Cm EXIT -may be used to specify an -.Ar action -that is performed when the shell terminates. -The -.Ar action -may be an empty string or a dash -.Pq Ql - ; -the former causes the specified signal to be ignored -and the latter causes the default action to be taken. -Omitting the -.Ar action -and using only signal numbers is another way to request the default action. -In a subshell or utility environment, -the shell resets trapped (but not ignored) signals to the default action. -The -.Ic trap -command has no effect on signals that were ignored on entry to the shell. -. -.Pp -Option -.Fl l -causes the -.Ic trap -command to display a list of valid signal names. -. -.It Ic true -A null command that returns a 0 (true) exit value. -. -.It Ic type Op Ar name ... -Interpret each -.Ar name -as a command and print the resolution of the command search. -Possible resolutions are: -shell keyword, alias, special shell builtin, shell builtin, command, -tracked alias -and not found. -For aliases the alias expansion is printed; -for commands and tracked aliases -the complete pathname of the command is printed. -. -.It Ic ulimit Oo Fl HSabcdfklmnopstuvw Oc Op Ar
