This is my tutorial script: (word to word from book)
#!/bin/bash
#defining function
afunc () {
echo "in function ${0}: ${1} ${2}"
var1="in function"
}
var1="outside of function"
echo "var1: ${var1}"
echo "${0}: ${1} ${2}"
#calling function
afunc funcarg1 funcarg2
echo "var1: ${var1}"
echo "${0}: ${1} ${2}"

This is the output it generates:
var1: outside of function
myscript: arg1 arg2
in function myscript: funcarg1 funcarg2
var1: in function
myscript: arg1 arg2

In the output I would expect the bolded 'myscript' to be afunc instead since I've already called the function.
Can some one tell me why the $0 won't take up the name of the called function when the other parameters $1 and $2 seem to be recognizing the new arguments?
Any other tips are appreciated too!

Is that from O'Reilly's "Learning the bash shell"? $0 doesn't change because the function executes in the environment of the shell script and $0 takes the name of the script.

It's actually O'Reilly's 'Learning the Korn Shell'. I'm working on bash though, adapting stuff on the way.

Somehow the $1 and $2 accept the function's(with in the script) arguments. According to the book $0 would change too to the name of the function it's being called from.

Appreciate the help.
