In POSIX sh, extglob is undefined.
(or "In dash, ... is not supported." when using dash)
Problematic code:
#!/bin/sh
rm !(*.hs)Correct code:
Either switch the shebang to a shell that does support extglob, like bash or ksh, or rewrite in terms of a loop with a case or grep match:
#!/bin/sh
for file in *
do
case "$file" in
*.hs) true;;
*) rm "$file" ;;
esac
doneRationale:
Extglobs are extensions in bash and ksh, while your shebang says you're using sh or dash.
Exceptions:
If you only intend to target shells that supports this feature, you can change the shebang to a shell that guarantees support, or ignore this warning.
You can use # shellcheck disable=SC3000-SC4000 to ignore all such compatibility
warnings.
