hash - remember or report utility locations
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
hash [utility...]
hash -r
The
hash utility shall affect the way the current shell environment
remembers the locations of utilities found as described in
Command Search
and Execution . Depending on the arguments specified, it shall add utility
locations to its list of remembered locations or it shall purge the contents
of the list. When no arguments are specified, it shall report on the contents
of the list.
Utilities provided as built-ins to the shell shall not be reported by
hash.
The
hash utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines.
The following option shall be supported:
- -r
- Forget all previously remembered utility locations.
The following operand shall be supported:
- utility
- The name of a utility to be searched for and added to the
list of remembered locations. If utility contains one or more
slashes, the results are unspecified.
Not used.
None.
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
hash:
- LANG
- Provide a default value for the internationalization
variables that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization
Variables for the precedence of internationalization variables used to
determine the values of locale categories.)
- LC_ALL
- If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of
all the other internationalization variables.
- LC_CTYPE
- Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of
bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
multi-byte characters in arguments).
- LC_MESSAGES
- Determine the locale that should be used to affect the
format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
- NLSPATH
- Determine the location of message catalogs for the
processing of LC_MESSAGES .
- PATH
- Determine the location of utility, as described in
the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter
8, Environment Variables.
Default.
The standard output of
hash shall be used when no arguments are
specified. Its format is unspecified, but includes the pathname of each
utility in the list of remembered locations for the current shell environment.
This list shall consist of those utilities named in previous
hash
invocations that have been invoked, and may contain those invoked and found
through the normal command search process.
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
None.
None.
The following exit values shall be returned:
- 0
- Successful completion.
- >0
- An error occurred.
Default.
The following sections are informative.
Since
hash affects the current shell execution environment, it is always
provided as a shell regular built-in. If it is called in a separate utility
execution environment, such as one of the following:
nohup hash -r
find . -type f | xargs hash
it does not affect the command search process of the caller's environment.
The
hash utility may be implemented as an alias-for example,
alias
-t -, in which case utilities found through normal command
search are not listed by the
hash command.
The effects of
hash -r can also be achieved portably by resetting
the value of
PATH ; in the simplest form, this can be:
The use of
hash with
utility names is unnecessary for most
applications, but may provide a performance improvement on a few
implementations; normally, the hashing process is included by default.
None.
None.
None.
