| 7 | # Bash is the only one that doesn't support aliases! |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ### basic alias |
| 10 | shopt -s expand_aliases # bash requires this |
| 11 | alias hi='echo hello world' |
| 12 | hi |
| 13 | echo hi # second word is not |
| 14 | ## STDOUT: |
| 15 | hello world |
| 16 | hi |
| 17 | ## END |
| 18 | |
| 19 | ### alias with trailing space causes second alias expansion |
| 20 | shopt -s expand_aliases # bash requires this |
| 21 | |
| 22 | alias hi='echo hello world ' |
| 23 | alias punct='!!!' |
| 24 | |
| 25 | hi punct |
| 26 | |
| 27 | alias hi='echo hello world' # No trailing space |
| 28 | |
| 29 | hi punct |
| 30 | |
| 31 | ## STDOUT: |
| 32 | hello world !!! |
| 33 | hello world punct |
| 34 | ## END |
| 35 | |
| 36 | ### iterative alias expansion of first word |
| 37 | shopt -s expand_aliases # bash requires this |
| 38 | alias hi='echo hello world' |
| 39 | alias echo='echo --; echo ' |
| 40 | hi # first hi is expanded to echo hello world; then echo is expanded. gah. |
| 41 | ## STDOUT: |
| 42 | -- |
| 43 | hello world |
| 44 | ## END |
| 45 | |
| 46 | |
| 47 | ### expansion of alias with value |
| 48 | shopt -s expand_aliases # bash requires this |
| 49 | x=x |
| 50 | alias echo-x='echo $x' # nothing is evaluated here |
| 51 | x=y |
| 52 | echo-x hi |
| 53 | ## STDOUT: |
| 54 | y hi |
| 55 | ## END |
| 56 | |
| 57 | |
| 58 | ### first and second word are the same |
| 59 | shopt -s expand_aliases # bash requires this |
| 60 | x=x |
| 61 | alias echo-x='echo $x' # nothing is evaluated here |
| 62 | echo-x echo-x |
| 63 | ## STDOUT: |
| 64 | x echo-x |
| 65 | ## END |
| 66 | ## BUG dash STDOUT: |
| 67 | x echo x |
| 68 | ## END |
| 69 | |
| 70 | ### first and second word are the same with trailing space |
| 71 | shopt -s expand_aliases # bash requires this |
| 72 | x=x |
| 73 | alias echo-x='echo $x ' # nothing is evaluated here |
| 74 | echo-x echo-x |
| 75 | ## STDOUT: |
| 76 | x echo x |
| 77 | ## END |
| 78 | |
| 79 | ### defining multiple aliases, then unalias |
| 80 | shopt -s expand_aliases # bash requires this |
| 81 | x=x |
| 82 | y=y |
| 83 | alias echo-x='echo $x' echo-y='echo $y' |
| 84 | echo-x X |
| 85 | echo-y Y |
| 86 | unalias echo-x echo-y |
| 87 | echo-x X || echo undefined |
| 88 | echo-y Y || echo undefined |
| 89 | ## STDOUT: |
| 90 | x X |
| 91 | y Y |
| 92 | undefined |
| 93 | undefined |
| 94 | ## END |
| 95 | |
| 96 | |
| 97 | ### Invalid syntax of alias |
| 98 | shopt -s expand_aliases # bash requires this |
| 99 | alias e= 'echo --; echo' # bad space here |
| 100 | e x |
| 101 | ## status: 127 |
| 102 | |
| 103 | ### Dynamic alias definition |
| 104 | shopt -s expand_aliases # bash requires this |
| 105 | x=x |
| 106 | name='e' |
| 107 | val='=echo' |
| 108 | alias "$name$val" |
| 109 | e X |
| 110 | ## stdout: X |
| 111 | |
| 112 | ### Alias detection happens before expansion |
| 113 | shopt -s expand_aliases # bash requires this |
| 114 | alias e='echo' |
| 115 | cmd=e |
| 116 | e X |
| 117 | $cmd X |
| 118 | e status=$? |
| 119 | ## STDOUT: |
| 120 | X |
| 121 | status=127 |
| 122 | ## END |
| 123 | |
| 124 | ### Alias name with punctuation |
| 125 | # NOTE: / is not OK in bash, but OK in other shells. Must less restrictive |
| 126 | # than var names. |
| 127 | shopt -s expand_aliases # bash requires this |
| 128 | alias e_.~x='echo' |
| 129 | e_.~x X |
| 130 | ## stdout: X |
