Discussion on: Shellscripting: Functions

[Ben Sinclair]

Just to be picky about positionals, when you say

NOTE: You cannot change the values of these variables

You kinda can, because you can use shift to reposition them,

foo() {
  echo $1, $2, $3
  shift
  echo $1, $2, $3
}

foo one two three four five

# one, two, three
# two, three, four
