BASH中的内置变量
The following variables are set by the shell:
BASH Expands to the full file name used to invoke this instance of
bash.
BASHOPTS
A colon-separated list of enabled shell options. Each word in
the list is a valid argument for the -s option to the shopt
builtin command (see SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below). The options
appearing in BASHOPTS are those reported as on by shopt. If
this variable is in the environment when bash starts up, each
shell option in the list will be enabled before reading any
startup files. This variable is read-only.
BASHPID
Expands to the process ID of the current bash process. This
differs from $$ under certain circumstances, such as subshells
that do not require bash to be re-initialized.
BASH_ALIASES
An associative array variable whose members correspond to the
internal list of aliases as maintained by the alias builtin.
Elements added to this array appear in the alias list; unsetting
array elements cause aliases to be removed from the alias list.
BASH_ARGC
An array variable whose values are the number of parameters in
each frame of the current bash execution call stack. The number
of parameters to the current subroutine (shell function or
script executed with . or source) is at the top of the stack.
When a subroutine is executed, the number of parameters passed
is pushed onto BASH_ARGC. The shell sets BASH_ARGC only when in
extended debugging mode (see the description of the extdebug
option to the shopt builtin below)
BASH_ARGV
An array variable containing all of the parameters in the cur‐
rent bash execution call stack. The final parameter of the last
subroutine call is at the top of the stack; the first parameter
of the initial call is at the bottom. When a subroutine is exe‐
cuted, the parameters supplied are pushed onto BASH_ARGV. The
shell sets BASH_ARGV only when in extended debugging mode (see
the description of the extdebug option to the shopt builtin
below)
BASH_CMDS
An associative array variable whose members correspond to the
internal hash table of commands as maintained by the hash
builtin. Elements added to this array appear in the hash table;
unsetting array elements cause commands to be removed from the
hash table.
BASH_COMMAND
The command currently being executed or about to be executed,
unless the shell is executing a command as the result of a trap,
in which case it is the command executing at the time of the
trap.
BASH_EXECUTION_STRING
The command argument to the -c invocation option.
BASH_LINENO
An array variable whose members are the line numbers in source
files where each corresponding member of FUNCNAME was invoked.
${BASH_LINENO[$i]} is the line number in the source file
(${BASH_SOURCE[$i+1]}) where ${FUNCNAME[$i]} was called (or
${BASH_LINENO[$i-1]} if referenced within another shell func‐
tion). Use LINENO to obtain the current line number.
BASH_REMATCH
An array variable whose members are assigned by the =~ binary
operator to the [[ conditional command. The element with index
0 is the portion of the string matching the entire regular
expression. The element with index n is the portion of the
string matching the nth parenthesized subexpression. This vari‐
able is read-only.
BASH_SOURCE
An array variable whose members are the source filenames where
the corresponding shell function names in the FUNCNAME array
variable are defined. The shell function ${FUNCNAME[$i]} is
defined in the file ${BASH_SOURCE[$i]} and called from
${BASH_SOURCE[$i+1]}.
BASH_SUBSHELL
Incremented by one each time a subshell or subshell environment
is spawned. The initial value is 0.
BASH_VERSINFO
A readonly array variable whose members hold version information
for this instance of bash. The values assigned to the array
members are as follows:
BASH_VERSINFO[0] The major version number (the release).
BASH_VERSINFO[1] The minor version number (the version).
BASH_VERSINFO[2] The patch level.
BASH_VERSINFO[3] The build version.
BASH_VERSINFO[4] The release status (e.g., beta1).
BASH_VERSINFO[5] The value of MACHTYPE.
BASH_VERSION
Expands to a string describing the version of this instance of
bash.
COMP_CWORD
An index into ${COMP_WORDS} of the word containing the current
cursor position. This variable is available only in shell func‐
tions invoked by the programmable completion facilities (see
Programmable Completion below).
COMP_KEY
The key (or final key of a key sequence) used to invoke the cur‐
rent completion function.
COMP_LINE
The current command line. This variable is available only in
shell functions and external commands invoked by the program‐
mable completion facilities (see Programmable Completion below).
COMP_POINT
The index of the current cursor position relative to the begin‐
ning of the current command. If the current cursor position is
at the end of the current command, the value of this variable is
equal to ${#COMP_LINE}. This variable is available only in
shell functions and external commands invoked by the program‐
mable completion facilities (see Programmable Completion below).
COMP_TYPE
Set to an integer value corresponding to the type of completion
attempted that caused a completion function to be called: TAB,
for normal completion, ?, for listing completions after succes‐
sive tabs, !, for listing alternatives on partial word comple‐
tion, @, to list completions if the word is not unmodified, or
%, for menu completion. This variable is available only in
shell functions and external commands invoked by the program‐
mable completion facilities (see Programmable Completion below).
COMP_WORDBREAKS
The set of characters that the readline library treats as word
separators when performing word completion. If COMP_WORDBREAKS
is unset, it loses its special properties, even if it is subse‐
quently reset.
COMP_WORDS
An array variable (see Arrays below) consisting of the individ‐
ual words in the current command line. The line is split into
words as readline would split it, using COMP_WORDBREAKS as
described above. This variable is available only in shell func‐
tions invoked by the programmable completion facilities (see
Programmable Completion below).
COPROC An array variable (see Arrays below) created to hold the file
descriptors for output from and input to an unnamed coprocess
(see Coprocesses above).
DIRSTACK
An array variable (see Arrays below) containing the current con‐
tents of the directory stack. Directories appear in the stack
in the order they are displayed by the dirs builtin. Assigning
to members of this array variable may be used to modify directo‐
ries already in the stack, but the pushd and popd builtins must
be used to add and remove directories. Assignment to this vari‐
able will not change the current directory. If DIRSTACK is
unset, it loses its special properties, even if it is subse‐
quently reset.
EUID Expands to the effective user ID of the current user, initial‐
ized at shell startup. This variable is readonly.
FUNCNAME
An array variable containing the names of all shell functions
currently in the execution call stack. The element with index 0
is the name of any currently-executing shell function. The bot‐
tom-most element (the one with the highest index) is "main".
This variable exists only when a shell function is executing.
Assignments to FUNCNAME have no effect and return an error sta‐
tus. If FUNCNAME is unset, it loses its special properties,
even if it is subsequently reset.
This variable can be used with BASH_LINENO and BASH_SOURCE.
Each element of FUNCNAME has corresponding elements in
BASH_LINENO and BASH_SOURCE to describe the call stack. For
instance, ${FUNCNAME[$i]} was called from the file
${BASH_SOURCE[$i+1]} at line number ${BASH_LINENO[$i]}. The
caller builtin displays the current call stack using this infor‐
mation.
GROUPS An array variable containing the list of groups of which the
current user is a member. Assignments to GROUPS have no effect
and return an error status. If GROUPS is unset, it loses its
special properties, even if it is subsequently reset.
HISTCMD
The history number, or index in the history list, of the current
command. If HISTCMD is unset, it loses its special properties,
even if it is subsequently reset.
HOSTNAME
Automatically set to the name of the current host.
HOSTTYPE
Automatically set to a string that uniquely describes the type
of machine on which bash is executing. The default is system-
dependent.
LINENO Each time this parameter is referenced, the shell substitutes a
decimal number representing the current sequential line number
(starting with 1) within a script or function. When not in a
script or function, the value substituted is not guaranteed to
be meaningful. If LINENO is unset, it loses its special proper‐
ties, even if it is subsequently reset.
MACHTYPE
Automatically set to a string that fully describes the system
type on which bash is executing, in the standard GNU cpu-com‐
pany-system format. The default is system-dependent.
MAPFILE
An array variable (see Arrays below) created to hold the text
read by the mapfile builtin when no variable name is supplied.
OLDPWD The previous working directory as set by the cd command.
OPTARG The value of the last option argument processed by the getopts
builtin command (see SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below).
OPTIND The index of the next argument to be processed by the getopts
builtin command (see SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below).
OSTYPE Automatically set to a string that describes the operating sys‐
tem on which bash is executing. The default is system-depen‐
dent.
PIPESTATUS
An array variable (see Arrays below) containing a list of exit
status values from the processes in the most-recently-executed
foreground pipeline (which may contain only a single command).
PPID The process ID of the shell's parent. This variable is read‐
only.
PWD The current working directory as set by the cd command.
RANDOM Each time this parameter is referenced, a random integer between
0 and 32767 is generated. The sequence of random numbers may be
initialized by assigning a value to RANDOM. If RANDOM is unset,
it loses its special properties, even if it is subsequently
reset.
READLINE_LINE
The contents of the readline line buffer, for use with "bind -x"
(see SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below).
READLINE_POINT
The position of the insertion point in the readline line buffer,
for use with "bind -x" (see SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below).
REPLY Set to the line of input read by the read builtin command when
no arguments are supplied.
SECONDS
Each time this parameter is referenced, the number of seconds
since shell invocation is returned. If a value is assigned to
SECONDS, the value returned upon subsequent references is the
number of seconds since the assignment plus the value assigned.
If SECONDS is unset, it loses its special properties, even if it
is subsequently reset.
SHELLOPTS
A colon-separated list of enabled shell options. Each word in
the list is a valid argument for the -o option to the set
builtin command (see SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below). The options
appearing in SHELLOPTS are those reported as on by set -o. If
this variable is in the environment when bash starts up, each
shell option in the list will be enabled before reading any
startup files. This variable is read-only.
SHLVL Incremented by one each time an instance of bash is started.
UID Expands to the user ID of the current user, initialized at shell
startup. This variable is readonly.
The following variables are used by the shell. In some cases, bash
assigns a default value to a variable; these cases are noted below.
BASH_ENV
If this parameter is set when bash is executing a shell script,
its value is interpreted as a filename containing commands to
initialize the shell, as in ~/.bashrc. The value of BASH_ENV is
subjected to parameter expansion, command substitution, and
arithmetic expansion before being interpreted as a file name.
PATH is not used to search for the resultant file name.
BASH_XTRACEFD
If set to an integer corresponding to a valid file descriptor,
bash will write the trace output generated when set -x is
enabled to that file descriptor. The file descriptor is closed
when BASH_XTRACEFD is unset or assigned a new value. Unsetting
BASH_XTRACEFD or assigning it the empty string causes the trace
output to be sent to the standard error. Note that setting
BASH_XTRACEFD to 2 (the standard error file descriptor) and then
unsetting it will result in the standard error being closed.
CDPATH The search path for the cd command. This is a colon-separated
list of directories in which the shell looks for destination
directories specified by the cd command. A sample value is
".:~:/usr".
COLUMNS
Used by the select compound command to determine the terminal
width when printing selection lists. Automatically set upon
receipt of a SIGWINCH.
COMPREPLY
An array variable from which bash reads the possible completions
generated by a shell function invoked by the programmable com‐
pletion facility (see Programmable Completion below).
EMACS If bash finds this variable in the environment when the shell
starts with value "t", it assumes that the shell is running in
an Emacs shell buffer and disables line editing.
ENV Similar to BASH_ENV; used when the shell is invoked in POSIX
mode.
FCEDIT The default editor for the fc builtin command.
FIGNORE
A colon-separated list of suffixes to ignore when performing
filename completion (see READLINE below). A filename whose suf‐
fix matches one of the entries in FIGNORE is excluded from the
list of matched filenames. A sample value is ".o:~" (Quoting is
needed when assigning a value to this variable, which contains
tildes).
FUNCNEST
If set to a numeric value greater than 0, defines a maximum
function nesting level. Function invocations that exceed this
nesting level will cause the current command to abort.
GLOBIGNORE
A colon-separated list of patterns defining the set of filenames
to be ignored by pathname expansion. If a filename matched by a
pathname expansion pattern also matches one of the patterns in
GLOBIGNORE, it is removed from the list of matches.
HISTCONTROL
A colon-separated list of values controlling how commands are
saved on the history list. If the list of values includes
ignorespace, lines which begin with a space character are not
saved in the history list. A value of ignoredups causes lines
matching the previous history entry to not be saved. A value of
ignoreboth is shorthand for ignorespace and ignoredups. A value
of erasedups causes all previous lines matching the current line
to be removed from the history list before that line is saved.
Any value not in the above list is ignored. If HISTCONTROL is
unset, or does not include a valid value, all lines read by the
shell parser are saved on the history list, subject to the value
of HISTIGNORE. The second and subsequent lines of a multi-line
compound command are not tested, and are added to the history
regardless of the value of HISTCONTROL.
HISTFILE
The name of the file in which command history is saved (see HIS‐
TORY below). The default value is ~/.bash_history. If unset,
the command history is not saved when an interactive shell
exits.
HISTFILESIZE
The maximum number of lines contained in the history file. When
this variable is assigned a value, the history file is trun‐
cated, if necessary, by removing the oldest entries, to contain
no more than that number of lines. The default value is 500.
The history file is also truncated to this size after writing it
when an interactive shell exits.
HISTIGNORE
A colon-separated list of patterns used to decide which command
lines should be saved on the history list. Each pattern is
anchored at the beginning of the line and must match the com‐
plete line (no implicit `*' is appended). Each pattern is
tested against the line after the checks specified by HISTCON‐
TROL are applied. In addition to the normal shell pattern
matching characters, `&' matches the previous history line. `&'
may be escaped using a backslash; the backslash is removed
before attempting a match. The second and subsequent lines of a
multi-line compound command are not tested, and are added to the
history regardless of the value of HISTIGNORE.
HISTSIZE
The number of commands to remember in the command history (see
HISTORY below). The default value is 500.
HISTTIMEFORMAT
If this variable is set and not null, its value is used as a
format string for strftime(3) to print the time stamp associated
with each history entry displayed by the history builtin. If
this variable is set, time stamps are written to the history
file so they may be preserved across shell sessions. This uses
the history comment character to distinguish timestamps from
other history lines.
HOME The home directory of the current user; the default argument for
the cd builtin command. The value of this variable is also used
when performing tilde expansion.
HOSTFILE
Contains the name of a file in the same format as /etc/hosts
that should be read when the shell needs to complete a hostname.
The list of possible hostname completions may be changed while
the shell is running; the next time hostname completion is
attempted after the value is changed, bash adds the contents of
the new file to the existing list. If HOSTFILE is set, but has
no value, or does not name a readable file, bash attempts to
read /etc/hosts to obtain the list of possible hostname comple‐
tions. When HOSTFILE is unset, the hostname list is cleared.
IFS The Internal Field Separator that is used for word splitting
after expansion and to split lines into words with the read
builtin command. The default value is ``‐
line>''.
IGNOREEOF
Controls the action of an interactive shell on receipt of an EOF
character as the sole input. If set, the value is the number of
consecutive EOF characters which must be typed as the first
characters on an input line before bash exits. If the variable
exists but does not have a numeric value, or has no value, the
default value is 10. If it does not exist, EOF signifies the
end of input to the shell.
INPUTRC
The filename for the readline startup file, overriding the
default of ~/.inputrc (see READLINE below).
LANG Used to determine the locale category for any category not
specifically selected with a variable starting with LC_.
LC_ALL This variable overrides the value of LANG and any other LC_
variable specifying a locale category.
LC_COLLATE
This variable determines the collation order used when sorting
the results of pathname expansion, and determines the behavior
of range expressions, equivalence classes, and collating
sequences within pathname expansion and pattern matching.
LC_CTYPE
This variable determines the interpretation of characters and
the behavior of character classes within pathname expansion and
pattern matching.
LC_MESSAGES
This variable determines the locale used to translate double-
quoted strings preceded by a $.
LC_NUMERIC
This variable determines the locale category used for number
formatting.
LINES Used by the select compound command to determine the column
length for printing selection lists. Automatically set upon
receipt of a SIGWINCH.
MAIL If this parameter is set to a file or directory name and the
MAILPATH variable is not set, bash informs the user of the
arrival of mail in the specified file or Maildir-format direc‐
tory.
MAILCHECK
Specifies how often (in seconds) bash checks for mail. The
default is 60 seconds. When it is time to check for mail, the
shell does so before displaying the primary prompt. If this
variable is unset, or set to a value that is not a number
greater than or equal to zero, the shell disables mail checking.
MAILPATH
A colon-separated list of file names to be checked for mail.
The message to be printed when mail arrives in a particular file
may be specified by separating the file name from the message
with a `?'. When used in the text of the message, $_ expands to
the name of the current mailfile. Example:
MAILPATH='/var/mail/bfox?"You have mail":~/shell-mail?"$_ has
mail!"'
Bash supplies a default value for this variable, but the loca‐
tion of the user mail files that it uses is system dependent
(e.g., /var/mail/$USER).
OPTERR If set to the value 1, bash displays error messages generated by
the getopts builtin command (see SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below).
OPTERR is initialized to 1 each time the shell is invoked or a
shell script is executed.
PATH The search path for commands. It is a colon-separated list of
directories in which the shell looks for commands (see COMMAND
EXECUTION below). A zero-length (null) directory name in the
value of PATH indicates the current directory. A null directory
name may appear as two adjacent colons, or as an initial or
trailing colon. The default path is system-dependent, and is
set by the administrator who installs bash. A common value is
``/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin''.
POSIXLY_CORRECT
If this variable is in the environment when bash starts, the
shell enters posix mode before reading the startup files, as if
the --posix invocation option had been supplied. If it is set
while the shell is running, bash enables posix mode, as if the
command set -o posix had been executed.
PROMPT_COMMAND
If set, the value is executed as a command prior to issuing each
primary prompt.
PROMPT_DIRTRIM
If set to a number greater than zero, the value is used as the
number of trailing directory components to retain when expanding
the \w and \W prompt string escapes (see PROMPTING below).
Characters removed are replaced with an ellipsis.
PS1 The value of this parameter is expanded (see PROMPTING below)
and used as the primary prompt string. The default value is
``\s-\v\$ ''.
PS2 The value of this parameter is expanded as with PS1 and used as
the secondary prompt string. The default is ``> ''.
PS3 The value of this parameter is used as the prompt for the select
command (see SHELL GRAMMAR above).
PS4 The value of this parameter is expanded as with PS1 and the
value is printed before each command bash displays during an
execution trace. The first character of PS4 is replicated mul‐
tiple times, as necessary, to indicate multiple levels of indi‐
rection. The default is ``+ ''.
SHELL The full pathname to the shell is kept in this environment vari‐
able. If it is not set when the shell starts, bash assigns to
it the full pathname of the current user's login shell.
TIMEFORMAT
The value of this parameter is used as a format string specify‐
ing how the timing information for pipelines prefixed with the
time reserved word should be displayed. The % character intro‐
duces an escape sequence that is expanded to a time value or
other information. The escape sequences and their meanings are
as follows; the braces denote optional portions.
%% A literal %.
%[p][l]R The elapsed time in seconds.
%[p][l]U The number of CPU seconds spent in user mode.
%[p][l]S The number of CPU seconds spent in system mode.
%P The CPU percentage, computed as (%U + %S) / %R.
The optional p is a digit specifying the precision, the number
of fractional digits after a decimal point. A value of 0 causes
no decimal point or fraction to be output. At most three places
after the decimal point may be specified; values of p greater
than 3 are changed to 3. If p is not specified, the value 3 is
used.
The optional l specifies a longer format, including minutes, of
the form MMmSS.FFs. The value of p determines whether or not
the fraction is included.
If this variable is not set, bash acts as if it had the value
$'\nreal\t%3lR\nuser\t%3lU\nsys%3lS'. If the value is null, no
timing information is displayed. A trailing newline is added
when the format string is displayed.
TMOUT If set to a value greater than zero, TMOUT is treated as the
default timeout for the read builtin. The select command termi‐
nates if input does not arrive after TMOUT seconds when input is
coming from a terminal. In an interactive shell, the value is
interpreted as the number of seconds to wait for input after
issuing the primary prompt. Bash terminates after waiting for
that number of seconds if input does not arrive.
TMPDIR If set, bash uses its value as the name of a directory in which
bash creates temporary files for the shell's use.
auto_resume
This variable controls how the shell interacts with the user and
job control. If this variable is set, single word simple com‐
mands without redirections are treated as candidates for resump‐
tion of an existing stopped job. There is no ambiguity allowed;
if there is more than one job beginning with the string typed,
the job most recently accessed is selected. The name of a
stopped job, in this context, is the command line used to start
it. If set to the value exact, the string supplied must match
the name of a stopped job exactly; if set to substring, the
string supplied needs to match a substring of the name of a
stopped job. The substring value provides functionality analo‐
gous to the %? job identifier (see JOB CONTROL below). If set
to any other value, the supplied string must be a prefix of a
stopped job's name; this provides functionality analogous to the
%string job identifier.
histchars
The two or three characters which control history expansion and
tokenization (see HISTORY EXPANSION below). The first character
is the history expansion character, the character which signals
the start of a history expansion, normally `!'. The second
character is the quick substitution character, which is used as
shorthand for re-running the previous command entered, substi‐
tuting one string for another in the command. The default is
`^'. The optional third character is the character which indi‐
cates that the remainder of the line is a comment when found as
the first character of a word, normally `#'. The history com‐
ment character causes history substitution to be skipped for the
remaining words on the line. It does not necessarily cause the
shell parser to treat the rest of the line as a comment.
