Linux Commands: Mark variables/functions as readonly


readonly-Linux Command

readonly

Mark variables/functions as readonly.
SYNTAX
      readonly [-apf] [name] ... 

OPTIONS
      -f   Each name refers to a shell function
      -a   Each name refers to an array variable
      -p   Print a list of all readonly names (This is the default)

The values of these names may not be changed by subsequent assignment.

The `-p' option causes output to be displayed in a format that may be reused as input.

The return status is zero unless an invalid option is supplied, one of the name arguments is not a valid shell variable or function name, or the `-f' option is supplied with a name that is not a shell function.

readonly is a BOURNE shell command and a POSIX `special' builtin.
