declare: Declare a string variable with the specified value.
$ declare ${variable}="${value}"
try on your machine
The command declare ${variable}="${value}"
is used to declare a variable in the shell script.
In this command, ${variable}
is a placeholder that represents the name of the variable you want to declare, and "${value}"
represents the value you want to assign to that variable.
For example, if you want to declare a variable named name
with the value John
, you would use the command declare name="John"
.
This command is typically used when you want to explicitly declare a variable and assign a value to it. By declaring a variable, you make it accessible and usable in the current shell session or script.
