Dear GNU Bash maintainers, I would like to make a small suggestion regarding the current documentation in the hope that it spares future users a bit of "head scratching" and several hours of research. On line 3182 of jobs.c (https://github.com/bminor/bash/blob/master/jobs.c), readers can find the following comment: "If we are non-interactive, but job control is enabled, and the job died due to SIGINT, pretend we got the SIGINT." The IF block following the comment then includes a smile-worthy "for now". Since six years have passed since Bash 5.0 was released, does this behaviour not merit being documented officially now? A single line acknowledging the resultant exit of a script could be added to the "Signals" section of the current manual. Thank you for considering this suggestion,Simone Robinson
Suggestion: adding one line to the "Signals" manual section
