Hi, Regarding the "Invoking Bash" page, https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Invoking-Bash.html
It might be more consistent and therefore perhaps more clear for all of the newbies out there if the description of "--restricted" also began with "Equivalent to -r," as the very next description does. "--restricted Make the shell a restricted shell (see The Restricted Shell <https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/The-Restricted-Shell.html>). --verbose Equivalent to -v. Print shell input lines as they’re read." Also, a few lines later, there's the phrase, "There are several single-character options that may be supplied at invocation which are not available with the set builtin." Within that list there's the item, "-r Make the shell a restricted shell (see The Restricted Shell <https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/The-Restricted-Shell.html> )." However, restricted mode is listed on the "Set Builtin" page: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/The-Set-Builtin.html "-r Enable restricted shell mode. This option cannot be unset once it has been set." Cheers, Wiley
