[LTP] [PATCH 1/1] net/sctp: Fix parsing input variables in dash

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Cyril,

> Hi!
> > Dash (and maybe some other posix shells) cannot handle unquoted $@.
> > It needs to be quoted when calling otherwise leads to error:
> > /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/sctp01.sh: 40: local: 65000: bad variable name

> It looks like this patch is working around the real problem.

> Looking into bash and dash manual pages the syntax for local builtin is
> slightly differente between these two.

> The dash contains:

> local [variable | -] ...

> While bash has:

> local [option] [name[=value] ... | - ]


> So it looks to me like the portable way how to declare local variables is:

> function()
> {
> 	local var_name

> 	var_name=$foo

> 	...
> }


> And it also seems to be mentioned in one of the dash porting guides:

> http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Bashism

> See the builtins paragraph there.

Thanks for explanation!
