[TUHS] Warner's Early Unix Presentation

[Rob Pike]

Not for me it doesn't.

% bash

bash-3.2$ function f() {

    echo hi

    }

bash-3.2$ export f

bash-3.2$ bash

bash-3.2$ f

bash-3.2$


I added the 'builtin' command, which did leave the labs. But I added it as
a way for the "whatis" command to show a builtin, as well as allowing a way
to guarantee you get the builtin on execution.


How do I get bash to print the function as (shell) source code, so I could
edit it and play with it again? It was the synergy of all this stuff
connected seamlessly that made it so compelling.
