I defind a function t
which just return the 1st argument passed to it. It seems work fine at the beganing. But after I take a rest for lunch, I recall t
without passing any arguments. It return code is 127
at 1st, not as my expecting 0
. After that it works fine as I expecting at last recallings.
That's very strange. What happens in it? Or did I do something wrong?
$ t; echo $? ## the 1st time I call function t, its returncode is 127
127
$ t 3; echo $?
3
$ t; echo $? ## the 2nd time I call function t, its returncode is 0
0
$ t; echo $? ## the 3rd time I call function t, its returncode is 0
0
$ declare -f t
t ()
{
return $1
}
$
$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
$ bash --version

When $1
is undefined and unquoted, your function just runs return
.
This returns the result of the previous command, ie whatever command exited before you ran t
without arguments.
