dot - execute commands in the current environment
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
. file
The shell shall execute commands from the
file in the current
environment.
If
file does not contain a slash, the shell shall use the search path
specified by
PATH to find the directory containing
file. Unlike
normal command search, however, the file searched for by the
dot
utility need not be executable. If no readable file is found, a
non-interactive shell shall abort; an interactive shell shall write a
diagnostic message to standard error, but this condition shall not be
considered a syntax error.
None.
See the DESCRIPTION.
Not used.

Default.
Not used.
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
None.
None.
Returns the value of the last command executed, or a zero exit status if no
command is executed.
Default.
The following sections are informative.
None.
cat foobar
foo=hello bar=world. foobar
echo $foo $bar
hello world
Some older implementations searched the current directory for the
file,
even if the value of
PATH disallowed it. This behavior was omitted from
this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 due to concerns about
introducing the susceptibility to trojan horses that the user might be trying
to avoid by leaving
dot out of
PATH .
The KornShell version of
dot takes optional arguments that are set to the
positional parameters. This is a valid extension that allows a
dot
script to behave identically to a function.
None.
