disable [ -afmprs ] name ...
Temporarily disable the named hash table elements or patterns.
The default is to disable builtin commands. This allows you to
use an external command with the same name as a builtin command.
The -a option causes disable to act on regular or global aliases.
The -s option causes disable to act on suffix aliases. The -f
option causes disable to act on shell functions. The -r options
causes disable to act on reserved words. Without arguments all
disabled hash table elements from the corresponding hash table are
printed. With the -m flag the arguments are taken as patterns
(which should be quoted to prevent them from undergoing filename
expansion), and all hash table elements from the corresponding
hash table matching these patterns are disabled. Disabled objects
can be enabled with the enable command.
With the option -p, name ... refer to elements of the shell's
pattern syntax as described in the section `Filename Generation'.
Certain elements can be disabled separately, as given below.
Note that patterns not allowed by the current settings for the
options EXTENDED_GLOB, KSH_GLOB and SH_GLOB are never enabled,
regardless of the setting here. For example, if EXTENDED_GLOB is
not active, the pattern ^ is ineffective even if `disable -p "^"'
has not been issued. The list below indicates any option settings
that restrict the use of the pattern. It should be noted that
setting SH_GLOB has a wider effect than merely disabling patterns
as certain expressions, in particular those involving parentheses,
are parsed differently.
The following patterns may be disabled; all the strings need
quoting on the command line to prevent them from being interpreted
immediately as patterns and the patterns are shown below in single
quotes as a reminder.
'?' The pattern character ? wherever it occurs, including when
preceding a parenthesis with KSH_GLOB.
'*' The pattern character * wherever it occurs, including
recursive globbing and when preceding a parenthesis with
KSH_GLOB.
'[' Character classes.
'<' (NO_SH_GLOB)
Numeric ranges.
'|' (NO_SH_GLOB)
Alternation in grouped patterns, case statements, or
KSH_GLOB parenthesised expressions.
'(' (NO_SH_GLOB)
Grouping using single parentheses. Disabling this does not
disable the use of parentheses for KSH_GLOB where they are
introduced by a special character, nor for glob qualifiers
(use `setopt NO_BARE_GLOB_QUAL' to disable glob qualifiers
that use parentheses only).
'~' (EXTENDED_GLOB)
Exclusion in the form A~B.
'^' (EXTENDED_GLOB)
Exclusion in the form A^B.
'#' (EXTENDED_GLOB)
The pattern character # wherever it occurs, both for
repetition of a previous pattern and for indicating
globbing flags.
'?(' (KSH_GLOB)
The grouping form ?(...). Note this is also disabled if
'?' is disabled.
'*(' (KSH_GLOB)
The grouping form *(...). Note this is also disabled if
'*' is disabled.
'+(' (KSH_GLOB)
The grouping form +(...).
'!(' (KSH_GLOB)
The grouping form !(...).
'@(' (KSH_GLOB)
The grouping form @(...).
