## In POSIX sh, `local` is undefined.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Problematic code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
myfunc() {
|
||||||
|
local i=0
|
||||||
|
..
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Correct code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In POSIX sh, you can adopt some convention to avoid accidentally overwriting variables names, e.g. prefixing with the function name:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
myfunc() {
|
||||||
|
_myfunc_i=0
|
||||||
|
..
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Rationale:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`local` is supported in many shells, including bash, ksh, dash, and BusyBox ash. However, strictly speaking, it's not POSIX.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Exceptions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since quite a lot of real world shells support this feature, you may decide to [[ignore]] the warning.
