      $ foo='ls | less'
      $ $foo
      ls: cannot access '|': No such file or directory
      ls: cannot access 'less': No such file or directory

option name

option expression
allexport Same as -a.
braceexpand Same as -B.
emacs Use an emacs-style line editing interface.
This also affects the editing interface used for read -e.
errexit Same as -e.
errtrace Same as -E.
functrace Same as -T.
hashall Same as -h.
histexpand Same as -H.
history Enable command history, as described in Bash History Facilities. This option is on by default in interactive shells.
ignoreeof An interactive shell will not exit upon reading EOF.
keyword Same as -k.
monitor Same as -m.
noclobber Same as -C.
noexec Same as -n.
noglob Same as -f.
nolog Currently ignored.
notify Same as -b.
nounset Same as -u.
onecmd Same as -t.
physical Same as -P.
pipefail If set, the return value of a pipeline is the value of the last (rightmost) command to exit with a non-zero status, or zero if all commands in the pipeline exit successfully. This option is disabled by default.
posix Change the behavior of Bash where the default operation differs from the POSIX standard to match the standard (see Bash POSIX Mode). This is intended to make Bash behave as a strict superset of that standard.
privileged Same as -p.
verbose Same as -v.
vi Use a vi-style line editing interface. This also affects the editing interface used for read -e.
xtrace Same as -x.
