I am going through the /etc/init.d/functions and have some questions about
some of the syntax.
I'm relatively new to bash so any help would be appreciated.
I know what the local designator does;
however in the assignment statement
local base= user= nice= pid
I'm not sure what is happening in terms of teh = sign.
What does this mean.
In addition, there is a ${pid:-}.
I was expecting something after the -.
What does this mean (is it returning the null value?)
TIA
