Hi all,
Unless I'm misunderstanding how it should work, `cd -P -e' does not work as
specified by the documentation. From `help cd':
-e if the -P option is supplied, and the current working directory
cannot be determined successfully, exit with a non-zero status
Attempting to use it, however, returns a syntax error:
$ echo $BASH_VERSION
4.2.42(2)-release
$ mkdir foo
$ cd -P -e foo
bash: cd: -e: invalid option
cd: usage: cd [-L|[-P [-e]]] [dir]
This happens no matter what comes after or before -e: `cd -e', `cd -P -e' and
`cd -P -e foo' all return the same thing.
I'm using the latest version of `bash' as packaged by Arch Linux. I did a
search for any previous threads on this issue but didn't find anything, and I
didn't see anything on the devel branch (although it's possible I missed it, I
guess). Any ideas?
Best,
Chris
