The \fIunalias\fP utility shall remove the definition for each alias

Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that

are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of

||
|
IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables

for

the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine

|
the values of locale categories.)

.TP 7

\fILC_ALL\fP
|

|
If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the

of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
|
||
|
opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
|

.TP 7

\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
|
||
|
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
Since \fIunalias\fP affects the current shell execution environment,
|
||
|
it is generally provided as a shell regular built-in.
|
||
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
None.
|
||
|
.SH RATIONALE
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
The \fIunalias\fP description is based on that from historical KornShell
|
||
|
implementations. Known differences exist between that
|
||
|
and the C shell. The KornShell version was adopted to be consistent
|
||
|
with all the other KornShell features in this volume of
|
||
|
IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, such as command line editing.
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
The \fB-a\fP option is the equivalent of the \fIunalias\fP * form
|
||
|
of the C shell and is provided to address security concerns
|
||
|
about unknown aliases entering the environment of a user (or application)
|
||
|
through the allowable implementation-defined predefined
|
||
|
alias route or as a result of an \fIENV\fP file. (Although \fIunalias\fP
|
||
|
could be used to simplify the "secure" shell script
|
||
|
shown in the \fIcommand\fP rationale, it does not obviate the need
|
||
|
to quote all command
|
||
|
names. An initial call to \fIunalias\fP \fB-a\fP would have to be
|
||
|
quoted in case there was an alias for \fIunalias\fP.)
