<h2>readonly - Set read-only attribute for variables</h2>
<strong>Synopsis</strong>
<p><strong>readonly</strong> [ <strong>-p</strong> ] [ <em>
name</em> [ <em>=value</em> ] ... ]</p>
<p><strong>Description</strong></p>
<p>You can use <strong>readonly</strong> to set the read-only
attribute for the variables specified by <em>name</em>. A
variable with the read-only attribute cannot have its value changed
by a subsequent assignment and cannot be unset.</p>
<p>Note that <strong>qsh</strong> can change the value of a
variable with the read-only attribute. For example, if <strong>
PWD</strong> has the read-only attribute, it's value will be
changed when you change the current working directory.</p>
<p>When no arguments are specified, <strong>qsh</strong> displays a
list of the variables with the read-only attribute and their
values.</p>
<p><strong>Options</strong></p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>-p</strong></dt>
<dd>Precede each line of the output with the word "readonly " so it
is displayed in a re-enterable format.</dd>
</dl>
<p><strong>Operands</strong></p>
<p>Each <em>name</em> specifies a variable in the current
environment. If a <em>value</em> is also specified, the value of
the variable is updated before setting the read-only attribute.</p>
<p><strong>Exit Status</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>0 when successful.</li>
<li>&gt;0 when unsuccessful.</li>
