Bash is a Unix shell and command language written by Brian Fox for the GNU Project as a free software replacement for the Bourne shell. First released in 1989, it has been distributed widely as it is a default shell on the major Linux distributions and OS X.
Bash is a command processor that typically runs in a text window, where the user types commands that cause actions. Bash can also read commands from a file, called a script. Like all Unix shells, it supports filename globbing (wildcard matching), piping, here documents, command substitution, variables and control structures for condition-testing and iteration. The keywords, syntax and other basic features of the language were all copied from sh. Other features, e.g., history, were copied from csh and ksh. Bash is a POSIX shell, but with a number of extensions.
In this ebook, we provide a compilation of BASH programming examples that will help you kick-start your own projects. We cover a wide range of topics, from user management and permissions setting, to specific commands like sed, tar, etc. With our straightforward tutorials, you will be able to get your own projects up and running in minimum time.
SCG eBooks are professionally designed, downloadable collections of popular SCG content – articles, interviews, presentations, and research – covering the latest software development technologies, trends, and topics.
