Some people may continue to need or prefer using bash in POSIX mode.
You might know this already, but "Bash in POSIX mode" is not quite POSIX. For example, arrays are not defined by POSIX: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Bashism#Arrays Yes Bash even in POSIX mode handles them: $ bash --posix -c 'z=(2 3 4); echo ${z[2]}' 4 Dash rightfully does not handle them: $ dash -c 'z=(2 3 4); echo ${z[2]}' dash: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
