Are there any sources for documentation for old versions of some GNU software, in this case particularly bash
?
I have a embedded system that is running bash 3.00.16, and I'm trying to do some shell scripting, and things are not working as expected (no process substitution, apparently).
Furthermore, since this is an embedded system, I don't have man
or info
, so there is really no help available on the system.
Is there anywhere I can view the documentation for older versions of bash
as they were for various releases?
#!/bin/bash
and not#!/bin/sh
for your shebang?help
returnsGNU bash, version 3.00.16(2)-release (i486-slackware-linux-gnu)
echo <(ls)
returns-sh: syntax error near unexpected token `('
. It works on a new machine, thoughsh
andbash
looks identical on the device, though. I'm used to it having a distinct prompt.
