>From the 4.4-beta CHANGES file: 3. New Features in Bash a. `make install' now installs the example loadable builtins and a set of bash headers to use when developing new loadable builtins. b. `enable -f' now attempts to call functions named BUILTIN_builtin_load when loading BUILTIN, and BUILTIN_builtin_unload when deleting it. This allows loadable builtins to run initialization and cleanup code. c. There is a new BASH_LOADABLES_PATH variable containing a list of directories where the `enable -f' command looks for shared objects containing loadable builtins. > But this page looks like it _might_ be an interesting start: > https://gist.github.com/sshaw/8017032 Ah, yes. That looks like the beginning of an API document. Cool.
