"Learning the bash Shell, Second Edition, 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, and is also the shell of choice for Linux users around the world."--BK JACKET. "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."--BK JACKET. "This book 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."--BK JACKET. "Finally, Learning the bash Shell, Second Edition, shows you how to acquire, install, configure, and customize bash, and gives advice to system administrators managing bash for their user community."--BK JACKET.
