\subsection functions-description Description
|
|
|
|
`functions` prints or erases functions.
|
|
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
|
|
- `-a` or `--all` lists all functions, even those whose name start with an underscore.
|
|
|
|
- `-c OLDNAME NEWNAME` or `--copy OLDNAME NEWNAME` creates a new function named NEWNAME, using the definition of the OLDNAME function.
|
|
|
|
- `-d DESCRIPTION` or `--description=DESCRIPTION` changes the description of this function.
|
|
|
|
- `-e` or `--erase` causes the specified functions to be erased.
|
|
|
|
- `-n` or `--names` lists the names of all defined functions.
|
|
|
|
- `-q` or `--query` tests if the specified functions exist.
|
|
|
|
The default behavior of `functions`, when called with no arguments, is to print the names of all defined functions. Unless the `-a` option is given, no functions starting with underscores are not included in the output.
|
|
|
|
If any non-option parameters are given, the definition of the specified functions are printed.
|
|
|
|
Automatically loaded functions cannot be removed using `functions -e`. Either remove the definition file or change the $fish_function_path variable to remove autoloaded functions.
|
|
|
|
Copying a function using `-c` copies only the body of the function, and does not attach any event notifications from the original function.
|
|
|
|
Only one function's description can be changed in a single invocation of `functions -d`.
|
|
|
|
The exit status of `functions` is the number of functions specified in the argument list that do not exist, which can be used in concert with the `-q` option.

\subsection functions-example Examples
|
|
\fish
|
|
functions -n
|
|
# Displays a list of currently-defined functions
|
|
|
|
functions -c foo bar
|
|
# Copies the 'foo' function to a new function called 'bar'
|
|
|
|
functions -e bar
|
|
# Erases the function `bar`
|
|
