## In POSIX sh, exec flags are undefined.
|
||||
|
||||
(or "In dash, ... are not supported." when using `dash`)
|
||||
|
||||
### Problematic code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
exec -ca ls busybox
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Correct code:
|
||||
|
||||
Switch to a shell that does support the `exec` flags you are using, like `bash`:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
exec -ca ls busybox
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In POSIX, you can use `env` to start a command with a clean environment, but there is no way to generally specifying the zeroth argument.
|
||||
|
||||
### Rationale:
|
||||
|
||||
Flags to `exec` are bash and ksh extensions. `dash` and POSIX `sh` does not support them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Exceptions:
|
||||
|
||||
If you only intend to target shells that supports this feature, you can change
|
||||
the shebang to a shell that guarantees support, or [[ignore]] this warning.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use `# shellcheck disable=SC3000-SC4000` to ignore all such compatibility
|
||||
warnings.
