Yeah, but in my experience limiting yourself to the POSIX sh feature set is almost always just nitpicking. Bash is ubiquitous enough that this is hardly a problem in practice.
- _0w8t 5y agoIn my opinion the moment POSIX shell is not enough, one better use more appropriate language than learning all Bash-specific syntax rules and exceptions. And with containers bash may not be even there.
