When I use the command typeset -f in ksh , a list of functions

  • 0

When I use the command typeset -f in ksh, a list of functions with their definition is displayed in stdout.
I tried to search where those functions are defined, but I couldn’t find any hint about them. Can anyone help me finding them?

EDIT

I’m just learning the use of the typeset command, typing man typeset game me nothing (no manual entry for typeset).
In order to define functions that will be displayed using typeset -f, we need to define a function and export it using typeset -xf.

    Functions can be declared in the .profile, or files called from .profile or put in a dir that is referenced by the FPATH variable (and proabably other places too). Read your man ksh carefully for the order of files that are processed on startup. Search for the ‘Invocation’, ‘Files’, and ‘Functions’ sections.

    Also, there are a group of default functions that ksh sets up. So please edit your question to show the function names that your concerned with.
