shopt: Print a list of all options and their status formatted as runnable `shopt` commands.
$ shopt -p
try on your machine
The command shopt -p
is used to display the current settings of shell options.
When used without any arguments, the shopt -p
command will display the status of all the available shell options along with their current values in a format that can be directly executed to set the same options.
For example, if you run shopt -p
and one of the options displayed is "nocaseglob", it means the nocaseglob option is currently enabled in the shell. To disable it, you can execute the output of shopt -p
that contains "nocaseglob" with the "unset" command, like this: unset nocaseglob
.
In summary, shopt -p
is a command used to show the current settings of shell options, which can be useful for checking or modifying the behavior of your shell.
