functions being defined (they can still be included if quoted).
If we parsed the way POSIX specifies (leaving the exact input text of
$ and ` expansions unaltered, until required to be expanded) this would
not be needed, as the name of a function being defined does not underbo
parameter, command, or arith expansions, so xxx$3() { : ; } would just
work. But for many reasons we don't do that (and are unlikely to ever,
though maintaing both forms might be an option someday) - which led to
very obscure behaviour (if sh were compiled in DEBUG mode, even an abort())
and certainly nothing useful. So just prohibit these uses for now.
(A portable function name must be a "name" so this makes no difference
at all to posix compat applications/scripts).
A doc update is pending (the updated sh.1 also contains updates in other
areas not yet appropriate to commit).

NetBSD
NetBSD is a free, fast, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system. It is available for a wide range of platforms, from large-scale servers and powerful desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices.
Building
You can cross-build NetBSD from most UNIX-like operating systems. To build for amd64 (x86_64), in the src directory:
./build.sh -U -u -j4 -m amd64 -O ~/obj release
Additional build information available in the BUILDING file.
Binaries
Testing
On a running NetBSD system:
cd /usr/tests; atf-run | atf-report
Troubleshooting
- Send bugs and patches via web form.
- Subscribe to the mailing lists. The netbsd-users list is a good choice for many problems; watch current-users if you follow the bleeding edge of NetBSD-current.
- Join the community IRC channel #netbsd @ freenode.
