I printed the various declares using:
declare -p |& more
One of the early entries is:
declare -A BASH_ALIASES=()
Yet if I type 'alias |& wc, I see 56 lines starting with alias.
I _thought_ BASH_ALIASES was suppose to hold the aliases
and for an "alias whence='type -a'", I should see something like
declare -A BASH_ALIASES=([whence]='type -a ...) instead of
the empty assignment above.
Am I misunderstanding or missing something?
I'm assuming ("guessing?") that other people see
their aliases in
BASH_ALIASES?
Am trying to figure out where I should start looking for why
this isn't set, but wanted to make sure my understanding of
of this feature was correct.
Thanks!
