I do not have bash handy but for ksh which is very similar -

Code:

/home/jmcnama> set +o
Current option settings
allexport        on
bgnice           on
emacs            off
errexit          off
gmacs            off
ignoreeof        off
interactive      on
keyword          off
markdirs         off
monitor          on
noexec           on
noclobber        off
noglob           off
nolog            off
nounset          on
privileged       off
restricted       off
trackall         off
verbose          off
vi               on
viraw            off
xtrace           off

If nounset is on you will get what you requested, errors on undefined variables, and error checking for syntax only with noexec on.
