Re: [Help-bash] How to use alias defined in calling shell?

[Dan Douglas]

I always suggest doing this manually.

$ ( shopt -s expand_aliases; alias a='echo the alias'; export BASHOPTS
myAliases=$(typeset -p BASH_ALIASES); bash -xc $'eval "$myAliases"\n
a' )
+ eval 'declare -A BASH_ALIASES='\''([a]="echo the alias" )'\'''
++ declare -A 'BASH_ALIASES=([a]="echo the alias" )'
+ echo the alias
the alias

Or use a pipe, file, or parameter. Whatever is most appropriate.
Same applies to traps and functions. There's no point in
relying on bash's function export.
