You are not giving the whole loop:
while true; do
case "${1}" in
-p)
pidfile="${2}"
shift 2
;;
*)
if [ -n "${2}" ]; then
echo "Too many arguments"
return 1
else
break
fi
;;
esac
done
The 'break' command breaks out of the while loop. It's not the same as
C/C++.
The 'functions' file is only present for a few (currently 19 are left)
bootscripts in BLFS that have not yet been updated to LFS 7.0 syntax.
