Package: dash Version: 0.5.7-4 Severity: wishlist With dash, one can defined an alias with a backslash:
$ alias '\mv=echo ab' $ alias \mv='echo ab' but it can't be used: $ \mv mv: missing file operand Try 'mv --help' for more information. So, it would be better to return an error like with bash and ksh93. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.11-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dash depends on: ii debianutils 4.4 ii dpkg 1.17.12 ii libc6 2.19-9 dash recommends no packages. dash suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
