KSH: Import File With Variables and Functions

To import a file with variables and functions into a Korn shell (ksh) script, you can use the . (dot) command.

Here is the basic syntax for using the . command to import a file in a ksh script:

. file

The file argument is the name of the file to import.

For example, to import the file variables.ksh into a ksh script, you can use the following command:

. variables.ksh

This will execute the commands in the file variables.ksh, and any variables or functions defined in the file will be available in the script.

You can use the . command multiple times to import multiple files into the script.

For example:

. variables.ksh
. functions.ksh

This will import the variables.ksh and functions.ksh files into the script, and the variables and functions defined in those files will be available in the script.
