Package: bash Version: 3.2-4 Severity: normal
The bash manual page, in its section the declare built-in function, says: The -p option will display the attributes and values of each name. When -p is used, additional options are ignored. That description is apparently wrong. Bash does not ignore additional options with -p. Here's one example: $ declare -p | head -5 BASH=/bin/bash BASH_ARGC=() BASH_ARGV=() BASH_COMPLETION=/etc/bash_completion BASH_COMPLETION_DIR=/etc/bash_completion.d $ declare -p -F | head -5 declare -f _a2dismod declare -f _a2dissite declare -f _a2enmod declare -f _a2ensite declare -f _alias $ declare -F -p | head -5 declare -f _a2dismod declare -f _a2dissite declare -f _a2enmod declare -f _a2ensite declare -f _alias $ Here's another: $ declare -p | head -5 BASH=/bin/bash BASH_ARGC=() BASH_ARGV=() BASH_COMPLETION=/etc/bash_completion BASH_COMPLETION_DIR=/etc/bash_completion.d $ declare -p -a | head -5 declare -a BASH_ARGC='()' declare -a BASH_ARGV='()' declare -a BASH_LINENO='()' declare -a BASH_SOURCE='()' declare -ar BASH_VERSINFO='([0]="3" [1]="2" [2]="39" [3]="1" [4]="release" [5]="i486-pc-linux-gnu")' $ -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 5lenny2 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages bash recommends: ii bash-completion 20080705 programmable completion for the ba Versions of packages bash suggests: pn bash-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
