- Subject: Bugs in Cygnus Tools bash
Version : GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(8)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
1st Bug
following output is created by man, help and info commands:
myPrompt>man man
bash: man: command not found
myPrompt>help
...
getopts optstring name [arg]
...
myPrompt>info
...
* fold: (coreutils)fold invocation. Wrap long input lines.
* grep: (grep). print lines matching a pattern.
* groups: (coreutils)groups invocation. Print group names a user is in.
* head: (coreutils)head invocation. Output the first part of files.
....
info command gives no getopts information.
Finally, the bash itself doesn't know the getopts function
2nd Bug
User defined functions like
function usage
{
echo blabla
}
produce a "function: not found" output.
