Known differences exist between that +and the C shell. The KornShell version was adopted to be consistent +with all the other KornShell features in this volume of +IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, such as command line editing. +.LP +The \fB-a\fP option is the equivalent of the \fIunalias\fP * form +of the C shell and is provided to address security concerns +about unknown aliases entering the environment of a user (or application) +through the allowable implementation-defined predefined +alias route or as a result of an \fIENV\fP file. (Although \fIunalias\fP +could be used to simplify the "secure" shell script +shown in the \fIcommand\fP rationale, it does not obviate the need +to quote all command +names. An initial call to \fIunalias\fP \fB-a\fP would have to be +quoted in case there was an alias for \fIunalias\fP.) +.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS +.LP +None. +.SH SEE ALSO +.LP +\fIShell Command Language\fP , \fIalias\fP +.SH COPYRIGHT +Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form +from IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003 Edition, Standard for Information Technology +-- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base +Specifications Issue 6, Copyright (C) 2001-2003 by the Institute of +Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group.
