# Bash language and execution related functions. Used by public helper
# functions.
#

# Check whether the calling function was called from a given function.
#
# By default, direct invocation is checked. The function succeeds if the
# calling function was called directly from the given function. In other
# words, if the given function is the next element on the call stack.
#
# When `--indirect' is specified, indirect invocation is checked. The
# function succeeds if the calling function was called from the given
# function with any number of intermediate calls. In other words, if the
# given function can be found somewhere on the call stack.
#
# Direct invocation is a form of indirect invocation with zero
# intermediate calls.
#
# Globals:
#   FUNCNAME
# Options:
#   -i, --indirect - check indirect invocation
# Arguments:
#   $1 - calling function's name
# Returns:
#   0 - current function was called from the given function
#   1 - otherwise
