csh has function -x as ksh ?

Dear All,

Normally, I use ksh to code script but I got a new assignment to check the error code of csh so I want to know csh has fuction -x(/bin/ksh -x) as ksh or not?

If csh has, which mode? Another way, how can I check it my code is correctly?

Thank in advance

POSIX would be better.

You have my sympathies.

Did you try it?

Did you read the man page for csh?

(P.S., Yes it does.)
