Porting bash to sh: how to replace local?

[xxavier]

Hi all,

I have to port a bash script to sh. The bash use the local key word
in function to restrict the visibility of variables.

How can I do that in sh?

Thanks a lot for any hint,

Xavier.

AFAIK, local is unnecessary. Simply saying

VAR=value

Will make the variable only accessable in the scope of the current function and shell.

Well I took a look at the man page after I said that, and there is a case where it would be necessary, but to judge that you'd need to give a bit more detail as to how the script is structured and what the variable is for.

Thank you for answer.
It's fixed by just removing it.
