Let's have another try: $ bash --version GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. $ bash --posix -xc 'export x="$@"; echo $x; echo $y' foo bar 'y=baz boo' + export 'x=bar y=baz boo' + x='bar y=baz boo' + echo bar y=baz boo bar y=baz boo + echo $ dash -xc 'export x="$@"; echo $x; echo $y' foo bar 'y=baz boo' + export x=bar y=baz boo + echo bar bar + echo baz boo baz boo $ posh -xc 'export x="$@"; echo $x; echo $y' foo bar 'y=baz boo' + export x=bar y=baz boo + echo bar bar + echo baz boo baz boo $ $ bash --posix -xc 'export "x=$@"; echo $x; echo $y' foo bar 'y=baz boo' + export x=bar 'y=baz boo' + x=bar + y='baz boo' + echo bar bar + echo baz boo baz boo $ dash -xc 'export "x=$@"; echo $x; echo $y' foo bar 'y=baz boo' + export x=bar y=baz boo + echo bar bar + echo baz boo baz boo $ posh -xc 'export "x=$@"; echo $x; echo $y' foo bar 'y=baz boo' + export x=bar y=baz boo + echo bar bar + echo baz boo baz boo $ Here bash --posix behaves differently in the first case.
