@husoki, did you see this comment -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/83628/comments/1? This is part of the very mature, much adored "bash completion" protocol that allows authors to implement custom bash shell autocomplete suggestion intelligence for their shell apps. If you're not familiar, suggestions take place when you press TAB (twice in a row, usually) whilst somewhere in the course of writing a command into the shell. A common built-in example would be to type `/usr/b`, then TAB + TAB, at which point `/usr/bin` would autofill in. If multiple possible results exist, they would be displayed exhaustively in a useful, interactive listing. Apps often implement completion for everything from flags and param names to subcommands even all the way to param values that require external network traffic to fetch results, e.g.: ``` # TAB completion custom example $ example-cloud-app get-user-d _[TAB + TAB autofills to the following...]_ $ example-cloud-app get-user-details _[user continues typing]... $ example-cloud-app get-user-details --user-name= _[TAB + TAB fetches users from remote and shows possible values...]_ $ example-cloud-app get-user-details --user-name= zekev husoski johnd $ example-cloud-app get-user-details --user-name=h _[TAB + TAB]_ $ example-cloud-app get-user-details --user-name=husoski ``` In this example, the authors of `example-cloud-app` would have also authored their bash_completion script, which would usually consist of a callback function for the bash_completion lib to call when TAB + TAB is pressed and the user wants results. That callback function is what you see loaded into the env from the dump in here. If you want to see only env vars without functions, you can just use the `env` command or `printenv` and avoid using `set` which as discovered here also does include functions in its output—a behavior that one can assume with almost total certainty will probably never be removed given the ubiquitous, simple alternatives and current historical expectations which seem to me to be eminently reasonable. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to bash in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/83628 Title: Stuff from imagemagick ends up as environment variables Status in bash package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: imagemagick When running the 'set' command, stuff from ImageMagick ends up in the output.
