Secrets of the Bash
I came across this:
:()}
I can't really say for sure what it does (on the bash), but I do know it is *not* recommended.
What I'd like to know is:
a) What does it do, and how?
b) What should I read in order to understand these things better? Would man bash suffice?
TIA

At least I think so... :-)
You define a function like this:
name ( ) { list ; }So, the first thing it is doing is defining a function named ...
:that does:|:&Then, it runs that function...
And then, I have to use brute force (or better yet, the magic button) to restore (ab)normality... :-)
Am I right? :-)
