Subject: Replacement for declare in dash?
Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 14:18:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131016121859.GA30169@yade.xx.vu> (raw)

Hi,

I wrote a shell script on a non-Debian system and assumed, in my 
greenness, that testing it with #!/bin/bash --posix would ensure that 
the script would run under dash too. I was wrong. Of course that is the 
fault of bash and not dash.
Here is a simplified form of the script:

#!/bin/dash
# This works when run with #!/bin/bash --posix

func() {
        cat /proc/1/environ
}

sudo sh -c "$(declare -f func); func"

Can I do anything equivalent with dash?
I did not find anything in the docs, but hope dies last.
Of course I can swap the function out in a seperate script, but I'd like 
to avoid that.
Thanks in advance for all ideas.

Kind regards,
-Alex
