10.0;eoff, revision 1.0, 88/01/21
eoff - deactivate the shell's -e flag.
usage: eoff
DESCRIPTION
eoff disables variable evaluation. Variables are evaluated only inside
variable expression delimiters, ((expression)); otherwise, the shell
treats the ^var_name expressions as strings and they are not evaluated.
To enable variable evaluation regardless of the context in which the
variable appears, specify eon.
By default, eoff is in effect when a shell is invoked.
If eoff is specified in a shell script, it remains in effect until that
shell script exits, or until overridden by an eon in a nested shell
script. When a shell script exits, the variable evaluation is returned to
the state in effect just before the script was invoked.
eoff requires no arguments or options.
