Read and execute commands from the @var{filename} argument in the
current shell context. If @var{filename} does not contain a slash,
the @env{PATH} variable is used to find @var{filename}.
@example
break [@var{n}]

Exit from a @code{for}, @code{while}, @code{until}, or @code{select} loop.
If @var{n} is supplied, the @var{n}th enclosing loop is exited.
@var{n} must be greater than or equal to 1.
@example
cd [-L|[-P [-e]]] [@var{directory}]
@end example
+
Change the current working directory to @var{directory}.
If @var{directory} is not given, the value of the @env{HOME} shell
variable is used.
@example

The arguments are concatenated together into a single command, which is
then read and executed, and its exit status returned as the exit status
of @code{eval}.
@example
exec [-cl] [-a @var{name}] [@var{command} [@var{arguments}]]
@end example
+
If @var{command}
is supplied, it replaces the shell without creating a new process.
If the @option{-l} option is supplied, the shell places a dash at the
environment.
If @option{-a} is supplied, the shell passes @var{name} as the zeroth
argument to @var{command}.
+If @var{command}
+cannot be executed for some reason, a non-interactive shell exits,

Aliases are created and listed with the @code{alias}
An indexed array is created automatically if any variable is assigned to

Associative arrays are created using
@example
declare -A @var{name}.
Arrays are assigned to using compound assignments of the form
@example

+@var{name}=(@var{value1} @var{value2} @dots{} )
@end example
@noindent
where each
@var{value} is of the form @code{[@var{subscript}]=}@var{string}.
-Indexed array assignments do not require the bracket and subscript.
+Indexed array assignments do not require anything but @var{string}.
When assigning to indexed arrays, if
the optional subscript is supplied, that index is assigned to;
otherwise the index of the element assigned is the last index assigned
This syntax is also accepted by the @code{declare}
builtin. Individual array elements may be assigned to using the
-@code{name[}@var{subscript}@code{]=}@var{value} syntax introduced above.

Any element of an array may be referenced using
-@code{$@{name[}@var{subscript}@code{]@}}.
+@code{$@{@var{name}[@var{subscript}]@}}.
The braces are required to avoid
conflicts with the shell's filename expansion operators. If the
@var{subscript} is @samp{@@} or @samp{*}, the word expands to all members
of the array @var{name}. These subscripts differ only when the word
appears within double quotes.
If the word is double-quoted,
-@code{$@{name[*]@}} expands to a single word with
+@code{$@{@var{name}[*]@}} expands to a single word with
the value of each array member separated by the first character of the
-@env{IFS} variable, and @code{$@{name[@@]@}} expands each element of

@var{name} to a separate word. When there are no array members,
-@code{$@{name[@@]@}} expands to nothing.
+@code{$@{@var{name}[@@]@}} expands to nothing.
If the double-quoted expansion occurs within a word, the expansion of
the first parameter is joined with the beginning part of the original
word, and the expansion of the last parameter is joined with the last
part of the original word.
This is analogous to the
expansion of the special parameters @samp{@@} and @samp{*}.
-@code{$@{#name[}@var{subscript}@code{]@}} expands to the length of

If @var{subscript} is @samp{@@} or

Referencing an array variable without a subscript is equivalent to
value. The null string is a valid value.
The @code{unset} builtin is used to destroy arrays.

Expansion is performed on the command line after it has been split into
@code{token}s. There are seven kinds of expansion performed:

following a @samp{:} or the first @samp{=}.
In these cases, tilde expansion is also performed.

@node Exit Status
@var{waitpid} system call or equivalent function. Exit statuses
fall between 0 and 255, though, as explained below, the shell may
use values above 125 specially. Exit statuses from shell builtins and
-compound commands are also limited to this range. Under certain
+compound commands are also limited to this range. Under certain
circumstances, the shell will use special values to indicate specific
failure modes.
@example
: [@var{arguments}]
@end example
+
Do nothing beyond expanding @var{arguments} and performing redirections.
The return status is zero.
@example
. @var{filename} [@var{arguments}]
@end example
+
Read and execute commands from the @var{filename} argument in the
current shell context. If @var{filename} does not contain a slash,
the @env{PATH} variable is used to find @var{filename}.
@example
break [@var{n}]
@end example
+
Exit from a @code{for}, @code{while}, @code{until}, or @code{select} loop.
If @var{n} is supplied, the @var{n}th enclosing loop is exited.
@var{n} must be greater than or equal to 1.
@example
cd [-L|[-P [-e]]] [@var{directory}]
@end example
+
Change the current working directory to @var{directory}.
If @var{directory} is not given, the value of the @env{HOME} shell
variable is used.
@example
continue [@var{n}]
@end example
+
Resume the next iteration of an enclosing @code{for}, @code{while},
@code{until}, or @code{select} loop.
If @var{n} is supplied, the execution of the @var{n}th enclosing loop
@example
eval [@var{arguments}]
@end example
+
The arguments are concatenated together into a single command, which is
then read and executed, and its exit status returned as the exit status
of @code{eval}.
@example
exec [-cl] [-a @var{name}] [@var{command} [@var{arguments}]]
@end example
+
If @var{command}
is supplied, it replaces the shell without creating a new process.
If the @option{-l} option is supplied, the shell places a dash at the
environment.
If @option{-a} is supplied, the shell passes @var{name} as the zeroth
argument to @var{command}.
+If @var{command}
+cannot be executed for some reason, a non-interactive shell exits,
+unless the @code{execfail} shell option
+is enabled. In that case, it returns failure.
+An interactive shell returns failure if the file cannot be executed.
If no @var{command} is specified, redirections may be used to affect
the current shell environment. If there are no redirection errors, the
return status is zero; otherwise the return status is non-zero.
@example
exit [@var{n}]
@end example
+
Exit the shell, returning a status of @var{n} to the shell's parent.
If @var{n} is omitted, the exit status is that of the last command executed.
Any trap on @code{EXIT} is executed before the shell terminates.
@example
export [-fn] [-p] [@var{name}[=@var{value}]]
@end example
+
Mark each @var{name} to be passed to child processes
in the environment. If the @option{-f} option is supplied, the @var{name}s
refer to shell functions; otherwise the names refer to shell variables.
The @option{-n} option means to no longer mark each @var{name} for export.
If no @var{names} are supplied, or if the @option{-p} option is given, a
-list of exported names is displayed.
+list of names of all exported variables is displayed.
The @option{-p} option displays output in a form that may be reused as input.
If a variable name is followed by =@var{value}, the value of
the variable is set to @var{value}.
@example
getopts @var{optstring} @var{name} [@var{args}]
@end example
+
@code{getopts} is used by shell scripts to parse positional parameters.
@var{optstring} contains the option characters to be recognized; if a
character is followed by a colon, the option is expected to have an
-argument, which should be separated from it by white space.
+argument, which should be separated from it by whitespace.
The colon (@samp{:}) and question mark (@samp{?}) may not be

@var{optstring} is a colon, @var{silent}
-error reporting is used. In normal operation diagnostic messages
+error reporting is used. In normal operation, diagnostic messages
are printed when invalid options or missing option arguments are
encountered.
If the variable @env{OPTERR}
@example
hash [-r] [-p @var{filename}] [-dt] [@var{name}]
@end example
+
Each time @code{hash} is invoked, it remembers the full pathnames of the
commands specified as @var{name} arguments,
so they need not be searched for on subsequent invocations.
@example
pwd [-LP]
@end example
+
Print the absolute pathname of the current working directory.
If the @option{-P} option is supplied, the pathname printed will not
contain symbolic links.
@example
readonly [-aAf] [-p] [@var{name}[=@var{value}]] @dots{}
@end example
+
Mark each @var{name} as readonly.
The values of these names may not be changed by subsequent assignment.
If the @option{-f} option is supplied, each @var{name} refers to a shell
@example
return [@var{n}]
@end example
-Cause a shell function to exit with the return value @var{n}.
+
+Cause a shell function to stop executing and return the value @var{n}
+to its caller.
If @var{n} is not supplied, the return value is the exit status of the
last command executed in the function.
-This may also be used to terminate execution of a script being executed
-with the @code{.} (or @code{source}) builtin, returning either @var{n} or
+@code{return} may also be used to terminate execution of a script
+being executed with the @code{.} (@code{source}) builtin,
+returning either @var{n} or
the exit status of the last command executed within the script as the exit
status of the script.
Any command associated with the @code{RETURN} trap is executed
@example
shift [@var{n}]
@end example
+
Shift the positional parameters to the left by @var{n}.
The positional parameters from @var{n}+1 @dots{} @code{$#} are
renamed to @code{$1} @dots{} @code{$#}-@var{n}.
The return status is zero unless @var{n} is greater than @code{$#} or
less than zero, non-zero otherwise.

@example
trap [-lp] [@var{arg}] [@var{sigspec} @dots{}]
@end example

The commands in @var{arg} are to be read and executed when the
shell receives signal @var{sigspec}. If @var{arg} is absent (and
there is a single @var{sigspec}) or
@example
umask [-p] [-S] [@var{mode}]
@end example
+
Set the shell process's file creation mask to @var{mode}. If
@var{mode} begins with a digit, it is interpreted as an octal number;
if not, it is interpreted as a symbolic mode mask similar
@example

-space or tab character, then the next command word following the
+replacement text.
+If the last character of the alias value is a
+@var{blank}, then the next command word following the
alias is also checked for alias expansion.
Aliases are created and listed with the @code{alias}
An indexed array is created automatically if any variable is assigned to
using the syntax
@example
-name[@var{subscript}]=@var{value}
+@var{name}[@var{subscript}]=@var{value}
@end example
@noindent
@noindent
is also accepted; the @var{subscript} is ignored.
+@noindent
Associative arrays are created using
@example
declare -A @var{name}.
Arrays are assigned to using compound assignments of the form
@example
-name=(value@var{1} @dots{} value@var{n})
+@var{name}=(@var{value1} @var{value2} @dots{} )
@end example
@noindent
where each
@var{value} is of the form @code{[@var{subscript}]=}@var{string}.
-Indexed array assignments do not require the bracket and subscript.
+Indexed array assignments do not require anything but @var{string}.
When assigning to indexed arrays, if
the optional subscript is supplied, that index is assigned to;
otherwise the index of the element assigned is the last index assigned
This syntax is also accepted by the @code{declare}
builtin. Individual array elements may be assigned to using the
-@code{name[}@var{subscript}@code{]=}@var{value} syntax introduced above.
+@code{@var{name}[@var{subscript}]=@var{value}} syntax introduced above.
Any element of an array may be referenced using
-@code{$@{name[}@var{subscript}@code{]@}}.
+@code{$@{@var{name}[@var{subscript}]@}}.
The braces are required to avoid
conflicts with the shell's filename expansion operators. If the
@var{subscript} is @samp{@@} or @samp{*}, the word expands to all members
of the array @var{name}. These subscripts differ only when the word
appears within double quotes.
If the word is double-quoted,
-@code{$@{name[*]@}} expands to a single word with
+@code{$@{@var{name}[*]@}} expands to a single word with
the value of each array member separated by the first character of the
-@env{IFS} variable, and @code{$@{name[@@]@}} expands each element of
+@env{IFS} variable, and @code{$@{@var{name}[@@]@}} expands each element of
@var{name} to a separate word. When there are no array members,
-@code{$@{name[@@]@}} expands to nothing.
+@code{$@{@var{name}[@@]@}} expands to nothing.
If the double-quoted expansion occurs within a word, the expansion of
the first parameter is joined with the beginning part of the original
word, and the expansion of the last parameter is joined with the last
part of the original word.
This is analogous to the
expansion of the special parameters @samp{@@} and @samp{*}.
-@code{$@{#name[}@var{subscript}@code{]@}} expands to the length of
-@code{$@{name[}@var{subscript}@code{]@}}.
+@code{$@{#@var{name}[@var{subscript}]@}} expands to the length of
+@code{$@{@var{name}[@var{subscript}]@}}.
If @var{subscript} is @samp{@@} or
@samp{*}, the expansion is the number of elements in the array.
Referencing an array variable without a subscript is equivalent to
value. The null string is a valid value.
The @code{unset} builtin is used to destroy arrays.
-@code{unset} @var{name}[@var{subscript}]
+@code{unset @var{name}[@var{subscript}]}
destroys the array element at index @var{subscript}.
Care must be taken to avoid unwanted side effects caused by filename
expansion.
