I was having trouble finding out what escape codes are valid in an sh(1) prompt. The man page does not say, so I looked at /usr/src/bin/sh/parser.c and determined what the options are. Please consider adding this info to the man page, /usr/src/bin/sh/sh.1 :
A prompt string must be less than 128 characters. All characters are output verbatim, except these sequences: '$' is replaced with '#' if the user is root. '\h' is replaced with the local hostname. '\H' is replaced with the fully-qualified hostname. '\W' is replaced with the working directory. '\w' is replaced with the full path of the working directory. _______________________________________________ freebsd-doc@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-doc-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
