You have $LINENO, but it restarts counting from 1 in functions. But if
you invoke the function with $LINENO as argument, the calling line
number will be substituted and passed to the function.
$ cat -n lineno_test.sh
1 #!/bin/bash
2
3 function myfn()
4 {
5 echo "this function has been called from line number #$1"
6 }
7
8 myfn $LINENO
9
10 exit 0
$ ./lineno_test.sh
this function has been called from line number #8
