linux set 命令的应用

The following example redirects the standard output into a file by using the > operator. By default, if the file already exists, then it will be overwritten. If you want to change the default behavior, you can use the command set -o noclobber (or set -C), which sets the noclobber option to prevent a file from being overwritten using redirection. You can cancel this option using set +o noclobber.

$ ls –l  > lsoutput.txt

$set –C

$ls –l > lsoutput.txt

bash: lsoutput.txt: cannot overwrite existing file

$set +C

$ls –l > lsoutput.txt

The commands set -a or set -allexport will export all variables thereafter.
