I have been working on several items as I am using bash to configure systems.I started wanting to log the output of my scripts. Then I added a prefixed message construct so detailed logs could be summarized without extraneous debugging information (I have written an extract program using c in the past that could also probably be written in bash (readlng a line at a time from the log file}. The code is expected to be modified to establish project oriented bash environment settings for the execution of the configuration scripts. I have a function to print the bash reverse function trace and the accumulated arguments table (BASH_ARGV). The function is user callable .It can also be issued as the first statement of a function call (a function trace option). Most importantly the reverse trace is in theory (currently being tested as the initial processing for trap statements. Does this sound potentially like a section of the bash handbook?
It sounds like it could be a standalone document describing this
particular approach. I'd be glad to look at it.
