CHECKBASHISMS(1)

NAME
checkbashisms - check for bashisms in /bin/sh scripts

SYNOPSIS
checkbashisms script ...
checkbashisms --help|--version

DESCRIPTION
checkbashisms, based on one of the checks from the lintian system, performs basic checks on /bin/sh shell scripts for the possible presence of bashisms. It takes the names of the shell scripts on the command line, and outputs warnings if possible bashisms are detected.

OPTIONS

--help, -h
    Show a summary of options.

--version, -v
    Show version and copyright information.

EXIT VALUES
The exit value will be 0 if no possible bashisms or other problems were detected. Otherwise it will be the sum of the following error values:

1   A possible bashism was detected.

2   A file was skipped for some reason, for example, because it was unreadable or not found. The warning message will give details.
