function::set_int_arg - Linux

Overview

function::set_int_arg is a Linux command used to set the value of an integer argument for a function invocation. It allows you to dynamically assign values to function arguments during program execution.

Syntax

function::set_int_arg <function_name> <arg_index> <value>

Parameters:

• <function_name>: Name of the function to set the argument for.
• <arg_index>: 0-based index of the argument to set.
• <value>: Integer value to assign to the argument.

Options/Flags

None

Examples

Example 1:

Set the second argument of the my_function function to 10.

function::set_int_arg my_function 1 10

Example 2:

Set the first argument of the calculate_average function to 1000.

function::set_int_arg calculate_average 0 1000

Common Issues

• Argument index out of bounds: Ensure that the provided <arg_index> is within the valid range for the function’s arguments.
• Invalid value type: The <value> must be an integer. Attempting to set a non-integer value will result in an error.

Integration

function::set_int_arg can be combined with other Linux commands to dynamically modify function arguments at runtime.

Example:

Use function::set_int_arg and sort to sort a list of integers based on the second element of each tuple.

sort -k2,2n < input_file | function::set_int_arg my_sort_function 1
