.SH PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
.SH NAME
shift
\(em shift positional parameters
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
shift \fB[\fIn\fB]\fR
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The positional parameters shall be shifted. Positional parameter 1
shall be assigned the value of parameter (1+\fIn\fP), parameter 2 shall
be assigned the value of parameter (2+\fIn\fP), and so on. The
parameters represented by the numbers
.BR \(dq$#\(dq
down to
.BR \(dq$#\(min+1\(dq
shall be unset, and the parameter
.BR '#'
is updated to reflect the new number of positional parameters.
.P
The value
.IR n
shall be an unsigned decimal integer less than or equal to the value of
the special parameter
.BR '#' .
If
.IR n
is not given, it shall be assumed to be 1. If
.IR n
is 0, the positional and special parameters are not changed.
.SH OPTIONS
None.
.SH OPERANDS
See the DESCRIPTION.
.SH STDIN
Not used.
.SH "INPUT FILES"
None.
.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
None.
.SH "ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS"

.SH STDERR
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
.SH "OUTPUT FILES"
None.
.SH "EXTENDED DESCRIPTION"
None.
.SH "EXIT STATUS"
If the
.IR n
operand is invalid or is greater than
.BR \(dq$#\(dq ,
this may be considered a syntax error and a non-interactive shell may
exit; if the shell does not exit in this case, a non-zero exit status
shall be returned. Otherwise, zero shall be returned.
.SH "CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS"
Default.
.LP
.IR "The following sections are informative."
.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
None.
