Hi all, Unless I'm misunderstanding how it should work, `cd -P -e' does not work as specified by the documentation. From `help cd':
-e if the -P option is supplied, and the current working directory cannot be determined successfully, exit with a non-zero status Attempting to use it, however, returns a syntax error: $ echo $BASH_VERSION 4.2.42(2)-release $ mkdir foo $ cd -P -e foo bash: cd: -e: invalid option cd: usage: cd [-L|[-P [-e]]] [dir] This happens no matter what comes after or before -e: `cd -e', `cd -P -e' and `cd -P -e foo' all return the same thing. I'm using the latest version of `bash' as packaged by Arch Linux. I did a search for any previous threads on this issue but didn't find anything, and I didn't see anything on the devel branch (although it's possible I missed it, I guess). Any ideas? Best, Chris
