$ help : ! :: : No effect; the command does nothing. A zero exit code is returned. What about that second argument?
$ help ! bash: help: no help topics match `!'. Try `help help' or `man -k !' or `info !'. Regarding RESERVED WORDS $ set ! case do done elif else esac fi for function \ if in select then until while { } time [[ ]] $ for i do help >&- 2>&- $i||e=$i\ $e; done $ echo $e ]] } then in fi esac else elif done do ! OK, but ! perhaps should have a blurb. _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
