The command typeset -r ${variable}="${value}"
sets a read-only attribute to the variable specified by ${variable}
and assigns the value ${value}
to it.
Here's a breakdown of the components of the command:
-
typeset
: This is a command used to define shell variables. In this case, it is being used to declare a read-only variable. -
-r
: The-r
option is used to set the read-only attribute to the variable. When a variable is read-only, its value cannot be changed or reassigned. -
${variable}
: This is the name of the variable to which the read-only attribute is assigned. The variable name is enclosed in${}
to indicate that it is a variable substitution. -
"${value}"
: This is the value assigned to the variable. It is enclosed in double quotes to preserve any spaces or special characters within the value. The value is also enclosed in${}
to indicate variable substitution.
Overall, the command typeset -r ${variable}="${value}"
declares a variable as read-only and assigns a value to it.
