Unix command noset?

[kukuluku]

I inheret some program and it has a line:
. $HOME/.profile noset 2>&1 1>/dev/null

Can't seem to find what noset means. Can anyone explain?

Thanks in advance.

seems like your '$HOME/.profile' file/script takes one input parameter and its value in this case is 'noset'.

Check your '$HOME/.profile' file to see its command-line parsing logic - $1 etc

$HOME/.profile doesn't have any noset nor takes any parameter ($1). This line is in this program that I copied from and use it. Just can't find what this noset means. Maybe I don't need noset at all.

Thanks,

I think it sets $1 to "noset".

... which may affect processing in the profile, but also in the script.

check /etc/profile as something may have been set globally
