export: Mark a shell function for export.
$ export -f ${FUNCTION_NAME}
try on your machine
The command "export -f ${FUNCTION_NAME}" is used to export a function in a Bash shell.
To break it down:
- "export" is a Bash command used to mark variables and functions for export to the environment of subsequent shell commands.
- The "-f" flag is used to specify that we want to export a function.
- "${FUNCTION_NAME}" is a placeholder representing the name of the function that we want to export. This should be replaced with the actual name of the function.
By executing this command, we are making the specified function available to any subsequent shell processes spawned from the current shell. This allows other scripts or commands to use the exported function.
