我如何知道是否在Bash中设置了变量?

例如,如何检查用户是否向函数提供了第一个参数?

function a {
    # if $1 is set ?
}

我很惊讶没有人尝试编写一个shell脚本来以编程方式生成这个臭名昭著的难以摸索的表。既然我们在这里试图学习编码技术,为什么不用代码表达答案?:)这是我的看法(应该在任何POSIX shell中都适用):

H="+-%s-+-%s----+-%s----+-%s--+\n"       # table divider printf format
R="| %-10s | %-10s | %-10s | %-10s |\n"  # table row printf format

S='V'     # S is a variable that is set-and-not-null
N=''      # N is a variable that is set-but-null (empty "")
unset U   # U is a variable that is unset

printf "$H" "----------" "-------" "-------" "---------";
printf "$R" "expression" "FOO='V'" "FOO='' " "unset FOO";
printf "$H" "----------" "-------" "-------" "---------";
printf "$R" "\${FOO:-x}" "${S:-x}" "${N:-x}" "${U:-x}  "; S='V';N='';unset U
printf "$R" "\${FOO-x} " "${S-x} " "${N-x} " "${U-x}   "; S='V';N='';unset U
printf "$R" "\${FOO:=x}" "${S:=x}" "${N:=x}" "${U:=x}  "; S='V';N='';unset U
printf "$R" "\${FOO=x} " "${S=x} " "${N=x} " "${U=x}   "; S='V';N='';unset U
#                                  "${N:?x}" "${U:?x}  "
printf "$R" "\${FOO:?x}" "${S:?x}" "<error>" "<error>  "; S='V';N='';unset U
#                                            "${U?x}   "
printf "$R" "\${FOO?x} " "${S?x} " "${N?x} " "<error>  "; S='V';N='';unset U
printf "$R" "\${FOO:+x}" "${S:+x}" "${N:+x}" "${U:+x}  "; S='V';N='';unset U
printf "$R" "\${FOO+x} " "${S+x} " "${N+x} " "${U+x}   "; S='V';N='';unset U
printf "$H" "----------" "-------" "-------" "---------";

以及运行脚本的输出:

+------------+------------+------------+------------+
| expression | FOO='V'    | FOO=''     | unset FOO  |
+------------+------------+------------+------------+
| ${FOO:-x}  | V          | x          | x          |
| ${FOO-x}   | V          |            | x          |
| ${FOO:=x}  | V          | x          | x          |
| ${FOO=x}   | V          |            | x          |
| ${FOO:?x}  | V          | <error>    | <error>    |
| ${FOO?x}   | V          |            | <error>    |
| ${FOO:+x}  | x          |            |            |
| ${FOO+x}   | x          | x          |            |
+------------+------------+------------+------------+

该脚本缺少了一些功能,比如在发生(或不发生)副作用分配时显示,但也许其他更有野心的人希望以此为出发点,并以此为出发。

以下是如何测试参数是否未设置、是否为空(“Null”)或是否设置了值:

+--------------------+----------------------+-----------------+-----------------+
|   Expression       |       parameter      |     parameter   |    parameter    |
|   in script:       |   Set and Not Null   |   Set But Null  |      Unset      |
+--------------------+----------------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| ${parameter:-word} | substitute parameter | substitute word | substitute word |
| ${parameter-word}  | substitute parameter | substitute null | substitute word |
| ${parameter:=word} | substitute parameter | assign word     | assign word     |
| ${parameter=word}  | substitute parameter | substitute null | assign word     |
| ${parameter:?word} | substitute parameter | error, exit     | error, exit     |
| ${parameter?word}  | substitute parameter | substitute null | error, exit     |
| ${parameter:+word} | substitute word      | substitute null | substitute null |
| ${parameter+word}  | substitute word      | substitute word | substitute null |
+--------------------+----------------------+-----------------+-----------------+

来源:POSIX:参数扩展:

在所有显示为“替换”的情况下,表达式将替换为显示的值。在所有显示为“assign”的情况下,参数都被指定该值,该值也会替换表达式。

要在操作中显示此内容,请执行以下操作:

+--------------------+----------------------+-----------------+-----------------+
|   Expression       |  When FOO="world"    |  When FOO=""    |    unset FOO    |
|   in script:       |  (Set and Not Null)  |  (Set But Null) |     (Unset)     |
+--------------------+----------------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| ${FOO:-hello}      | world                | hello           | hello           |
| ${FOO-hello}       | world                | ""              | hello           |
| ${FOO:=hello}      | world                | FOO=hello       | FOO=hello       |
| ${FOO=hello}       | world                | ""              | FOO=hello       |
| ${FOO:?hello}      | world                | error, exit     | error, exit     |
| ${FOO?hello}       | world                | ""              | error, exit     |
| ${FOO:+hello}      | hello                | ""              | ""              |
| ${FOO+hello}       | hello                | hello           | ""              |
+--------------------+----------------------+-----------------+-----------------+

要测试是否设置了变量var:[${var+x}]。

若要测试变量是否按名称设置:[${!name+x}]。

要测试是否设置了位置参数:[${N+x}],其中N实际上是一个整数。

这个答案与莱昂内尔的答案几乎相似,但通过省略-z来探索一种更为简约的方法。

要测试是否设置了命名变量,请执行以下操作:

function is_set {
    local v=$1
    echo -n "${v}"
    if [ ${!v+x} ]; then
        echo " = '${!v}'"
    else
        echo " is unset"
    fi
}

要测试是否设置了位置参数:

function a {
    if [ ${1+x} ]; then
        local arg=$1
        echo "a '${arg}'"
    else
        echo "a: arg is unset"
    fi
}

测试表明,不需要特别注意空格和有效的测试表达式。

set -eu

V1=a
V2=
V4=-gt
V5="1 -gt 2"
V6="! -z 1"
V7='$(exit 1)'

is_set V1
is_set V2
is_set V3
is_set V4
is_set V5
is_set V6
is_set V7

a 1
a
a "1 -gt 2"
a 1 -gt 2
$ ./test.sh

V1 = 'a'
V2 = ''
V3 is unset
V4 = '-gt'
V5 = '1 -gt 2'
V6 = '! -z 1'
V7 = '$(exit 1)'
a '1'
a: arg is unset
a '1 -gt 2'
a '1'

最后,请注意set-eu,它保护我们避免常见错误,例如变量名中的拼写错误。我建议使用它,但这意味着未设置的变量和带有空字符串的变量集之间的区别得到了正确处理。

if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
  echo \$1 is set
else
  echo \$1 is not set
fi

尽管对于参数,通常最好测试$#,我认为这是参数的数量。

if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
  echo \$1 is set
else
  echo \$1 is not set
fi
if [[ ${!xx[@]} ]] ; then echo xx is defined; fi

我总是使用这个,因为任何第一次看到代码的人都很容易理解:

if [ "$variable" = "" ]
    then
    echo "Variable X is empty"
fi

如果要检查是否为空;

if [ ! "$variable" = "" ]
    then
    echo "Variable X is not empty"
fi

就是这样。
