Machine Type: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 4.2
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release
Description:
cd silently ignores additional arguments
pwd, pushd and popd also do ignore additional arguments
This seemes to be a long standing behavior, it is the same in bash
3.1.17.
Problem is also described here:
http://old.nabble.com/cd-with-multiple-arguments--td30418151.html
This bug is mostly benign, however missing newline at the end of a cd
command leads to
silent skip of the following command line. Error report would help here.
Repeat-By:
cd xxx yyy
No error is reported for yyy.
Fix:
Make bash to report error for superfluous arguments for cd, pwd, pushd
and popd.
Alternatively, describe current behavior in bash man page (and
preferably
explain - maybe it is required for compatibility with some historical
shell?)
