Exam LX0-103 topic 3 question 29 discussion

The set command is a built-in command in Bash that can be used to modify various settings and attributes of the shell, such as the options used by the shell, the positional parameters (i.e., command-line arguments), and other settings. For example, you can use the set command to turn on or off various shell options, such as the "verbose" option (set -v) or the "ignore case" option (set -i). You can also use the set command to change the values of positional parameters, such as $1, $2, etc., which represent the command-line arguments passed to the shell. Note that the effects of the set command are only temporary and apply to the current shell session. If you want to make permanent changes to the settings and options of Bash, you will need to modify the shell configuration files (such as ~/.bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc) that are loaded when the shell starts up.
