This option is useful in setting \fB$1\fR to \fB\(mi\fR\&. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-a\fR\fR .ad .RS 6n .rt Marks variables which are modified or created for export. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-e\fR\fR .ad .RS 6n .rt Exits immediately if a command exits with a non-zero exit status. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-f\fR\fR .ad .RS 6n .rt Disables file name generation. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-h\fR\fR .ad .RS 6n .rt Locates and remembers function commands as functions are defined. Function commands are normally located when the function is executed. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-k\fR\fR .ad .RS 6n .rt All keyword arguments are placed in the environment for a command, not just those that precede the command name. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-n\fR\fR .ad .RS 6n .rt Reads commands but does not execute them. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-t\fR\fR .ad .RS 6n .rt Exits after reading and executing one command. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-u\fR\fR .ad .RS 6n .rt Treats unset variables as an error when substituting. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-v\fR\fR .ad .RS 6n .rt Prints shell input lines as they are read. .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-x\fR\fR .ad .RS 6n .rt Prints commands and their arguments as they are executed. .RE .sp .LP Using \fB+\fR rather than \fB\(mi\fR causes these flags to be turned off. These flags can also be used upon invocation of the shell. The current set of flags can be found in \fB$\(mi\fR. The remaining \fIargument\fRs are positional parameters and are assigned, in order, to \fB$1\fR, \fB$2\fR, \fB\&.\|.\|.\|.\fR If no \fIargument\fRs are specified the values of all names are printed. .sp .LP For each \fIname\fR, \fBunset\fR removes the corresponding variable or function value. The variables \fBPATH\fR, \fBPS1\fR, \fBPS2\fR, \fBMAILCHECK\fR, and \fBIF\fR cannot be unset. .sp .LP With the \fBexport\fR built-in, the specified \fIname\fRs are marked for automatic export to the \fIenvironment\fR of subsequently executed commands. If no arguments are specified, variable names that have been marked for export during the current shell's execution are listed. Function names are \fBnot\fR exported. .SS "csh" .sp .LP With no arguments, \fBset\fR displays the values of all shell variables. Multiword values are displayed as a parenthesized list. With the \fIvar\fR argument alone, \fBset\fR assigns an empty (null) value to the variable \fIvar\fR. With arguments of the form \fIvar\fR \fB=\fR \fIvalue\fR \fBset\fR assigns \fIvalue\fR to \fIvar\fR, where \fIvalue\fR is one of: .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fIword\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt A single word (or quoted string). .RE .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB(\fR\fIwordlist\fR\fB)\fR\fR .ad .RS 14n .rt A space-separated list of words enclosed in parentheses. .RE .sp .LP Values are command and filename expanded before being assigned. The form \fBset\fR \fIvar\fR\fB[\fR\fIn\fR\fB]=\fR\fIword\fR replaces the \fIn\fR'th word in a multiword value with \fIword\fR. .sp .LP \fBunset\fR removes variables whose names match (filename substitution) \fIpattern\fR. All variables are removed by `\fBunset *\fR'. .sp .LP With no arguments, \fBsetenv\fR displays all environment variables. With the \fIVAR\fR argument, \fBsetenv\fR sets the environment variable \fB\fR\fIVAR\fR\fB \fR to an empty (null) value. (By convention, environment variables are normally specified upper-case names.) With both \fIVAR\fR and \fIword\fR arguments specified, \fBsetenv\fR sets \fIVAR\fR to \fIword\fR, which must be either a single word or a quoted string. The \fBPATH\fR variable can take multiple \fIword\fR arguments, separated by colons (see EXAMPLES). The most commonly used environment variables, \fBUSER\fR, \fBTERM\fR, and \fBPATH\fR, are automatically imported to and exported from the \fBcsh\fR variables \fBuser\fR, \fBterm\fR, and \fBpath\fR. Use \fBsetenv\fR if you need to change these variables. In addition, the shell sets the \fBPWD\fR environment variable from the \fBcsh\fR variable \fBcwd\fR whenever the latter changes. .sp .LP The environment variables \fBLC_CTYPE\fR, \fBLC_MESSAGES\fR, \fBLC_TIME\fR, \fBLC_COLLATE\fR, \fBLC_NUMERIC\fR, and \fBLC_MONETARY\fR take immediate effect when changed within the C shell. See \fBenviron\fR(5) for descriptions of these environment variables. .sp .LP \fBunsetenv\fR removes \fIvariable\fR from the environment. As with \fBunset\fR, pattern matching is not performed. .SS "ksh" .sp .LP The flags for the \fBset\fR built-in have meaning as follows: .sp .ne 2 .mk .na \fB\fB-A\fR\fR .ad .RS 13n .rt Array assignment.

If no arguments follow this flag then the positional parameters are unset. .RE .sp .LP Using \fB+\fR rather than \fB\(mi\fR causes these flags to be turned off. These flags can also be used upon invocation of the shell. The current set of flags can be found in \fB$\(mi\fR. Unless \fB-A\fR is specified, the remaining arguments are positional parameters and are assigned, in order, to \fB$1\fR \fB$2\fR .\|.\|.. If no arguments are specified then the names and values of all variables are printed on the standard output. .sp .LP The variables specified by the list of \fIname\fRs are unassigned, that is, their values and attributes are erased. \fBreadonly\fR variables cannot be unset. If the \fB-f\fR flag is set, then the names refer to \fBfunction\fR names.

Read-only variables with values cannot be reset. .RE .RS +4 .TP 2.

Errors cause a script that contains them to abort. .RE .RS +4 .TP 4. Words, following a command preceded by \fB**\fR that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a variable assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the \fB=\fR sign and word splitting and file name generation are not performed. .RE .SS "ksh93" .sp .LP \fBset\fR sets or unsets options and positional parameters. Options that are specified with a \fB-\fR cause the options to be set.

Otherwise, unless the \fB-A\fR option has been specified, the positional parameters are replaced by the list of arguments. A first argument of \fB--\fR is ignored when setting positional parameters. .sp .LP For backwards compatibility, a \fBset\fR command without any options specified, whose first argument is \fB-\fR turns off the \fB-v\fR and \fB-x\fR options.
