---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006174) ormaaj (reporter) - 2023-02-24 14:05 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1630#c6174 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Relatedly, the `-p` option used by several implementations is absolutely required in order to properly save and restore alias definitions, so `alias` must support handling them. -p causes each output alias to be prefixed with an alias command so that the string may be eval'd. The format prescribed by POSIX renders the output completely useless in spite of the paradoxically impossible requirement that "the value string shall be written with appropriate quoting so that it is suitable for reinput to the shell". One could theoretically interpret that in a reasonable manner once $'' becomes available as it could then be inferred that the shell must force each definition onto a single line to be subsequently parsed by newline delimiters. That could only happen safely if each definition is required to be represented on a single line.
