echo $-
himBH

By default, the active flags in the set-builtin are: himBH
Executing help set doesn't show an explanation for the i-flag.

What is behind the i-flag, the i-option respectively?

  • Checked, you can update your answer there, the active set-builtin-options are in $SHELLOPTS and the active shopt-builtin-options are in $BASHOPTS. – Neni Aug 25 '16 at 12:01

From man bash:

-i        If the -i option is present, the shell is interactive.
