I don't seem to have a good shell programming guide handy -- can someone tell me
what different contexts you can use a shell function in?
ie if I have:
my_funct() {
echo "this is a test"
}
can I do these operations:
my_funct # yes, I know this works
var=my_funct # ?
var=`my_funct` # ?
??
As an aside, where is the FAQ for this group?
