When a command in the hash table no longer exists, bash will re-search - $PATH to find the new location. This is also available with - `shopt -s checkhash'. - -2. The >& redirection does not redirect stdout and stderr. - -3. The message printed by the job control code and builtins when a job - exits with a non-zero status is `Done(status)'. - -4. Reserved words may not be aliased. - -5. The Posix.2 PS1 and PS2 expansions of `!' -> history number and - `!!' -> `!' are enabled, and parameter expansion is performed on - the value regardless of the setting of the `promptvars' option. - -6. Interactive comments are enabled by default. (Note that bash has - them on by default anyway.) - -7. The Posix.2 startup files are executed ($ENV) rather than the normal - bash files. - -8. Tilde expansion is only performed on assignments preceding a command - name, rather than on all assignment statements on the line. - -9. The default history file is ~/.sh_history (default value of $HISTFILE). - -10. The output of `kill -l' prints all the signal names on a single line, - separated by spaces. - -11.

Declaring a function with an illegal name - causes a fatal syntax error in non-interactive shells. - -14. Posix.2 `special' builtins are found before shell functions during command - lookup. - -15. If a Posix.2 special builtin returns an error status, a non-interactive - shell exits. The fatal errors are those listed in the POSIX.2 standard, - and include things like passing incorrect options, redirection errors, - variable assignment errors for assignments preceding the command name, - and so on. - -16. The environment passed to executed commands is not sorted. Neither is - the output of `set'. This is not strictly Posix.2 behavior, but sh - does it this way. Ksh does not. It's not necessary to sort the - environment; no program should rely on it being sorted. - -17. If the `cd' builtin finds a directory to change to using $CDPATH, the - value it assigns to $PWD does not contain any symbolic links, as if - `cd -P' had been executed. - -18. A non-interactive shell exits with an error status if a variable - assignment error occurs when no command name follows the assignment - statements. A variable assignment error occurs, for example, when - trying to assign a value to a read-only variable. - -19. A non-interactive shell exits with an error status if the iteration - variable in a for statement or the selection variable in a select - statement is a read-only variable. - -20. Process substitution is not available. - -21. Assignment statements preceding POSIX.2 `special' builtins persist in - the shell environment after the builtin completes. - -There is other Posix.2 behavior that bash does not implement.
