local functions

[Christof Warlich]

Hi,

$ help declare

says:

   ...
    When used in a function, `declare' makes NAMEs local, as with the
`local'
    command.
    ...

Furthermore, bash allows to define a function within another function:

$ f() {
    echo f
    declare -f g
    g() {
        echo g
    }
}
$ f
f
g

But g is not local:

$ g
g

Thus, either the documentation or bash's behavior seens to be wrong, right?

Cheers,

Chris
