Learning the Bash Shell

Learning the bash Shell is the definitive guide to bash, the Free Software Foundation's "Bourne Again Shell". It's a freely available replacement for the popular UNIX Bourne shell. It is also the shell of choice for Linux users around the world. You'll find this guide valuable whether you're interested in bash as a user interface or for its powerful programming capabilities. It will teach you how to use bash's advanced command-line features, like command history, command-line editing, and command completion. Learning the bash Shell also introduces shell programming, a skill no UNIX or Linux user should be without. The book demonstrates what you can do with bash's programming features. You'll learn about flow control, signal handling, and command-line processing and I/O. There is also a chapter on debugging your bash programs. Finally, Learning the bash Shell shows you how to get bash, install it, configure it, and customize it. It also gives advice to system administrators managing bash for their user community.Newham, Cameron is the author of 'Learning the Bash Shell' with ISBN 9781565921474 and ISBN 156592147X.
