							|  |  |  | If Bash is started with the name `rbash', or the `--restricted' or `-r' | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted.  A | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | restricted shell is used to set up an environment more controlled than | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | the standard shell.  A restricted shell behaves identically to `bash' | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | with the exception that the following are disallowed or not performed: | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    * Changing directories with the `cd' builtin. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    * Setting or unsetting the values of the `SHELL', `PATH', `ENV', or | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |      `BASH_ENV' variables. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    * Specifying command names containing slashes. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    * Specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the `.' | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |      builtin command. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    * Specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the `-p' | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |      option to the `hash' builtin command. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    * Importing function definitions from the shell environment at | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |      startup. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    * Parsing the value of `SHELLOPTS' from the shell environment at | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |      startup. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    * Redirecting output using the `>', `>|', `<>', `>&', `&>', and `>>' | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |      redirection operators. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    * Using the `exec' builtin to replace the shell with another command. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    * Adding or deleting builtin commands with the `-f' and `-d' options | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |      to the `enable' builtin. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    * Using the `enable' builtin command to enable disabled shell | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |      builtins. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    * Specifying the `-p' option to the `command' builtin. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    * Turning off restricted mode with `set +r' or `set +o restricted'. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed (*note | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Shell Scripts::), `rbash' turns off any restrictions in the shell | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | spawned to execute the script. |
