Description:
O'Reilly's bestselling book on Linux's bash shell
is at it again. Now that Linux is an established player both as a server and
on the desktop Learning the bash Shell has been updated and refreshed
to account for all the latest changes. Indeed, this third edition serves as
the most valuable guide yet to the bash shell. As any good programmer
knows, the first thing users of the Linux operating system come face to face
with is the shell the UNIX term for a user interface to the system. In other
words, it's what lets you communicate with the computer via the keyboard and
display. Mastering the bash shell might sound fairly simple but it isn't. In
truth, there are many complexities that need careful explanation, which is
just what Learning the bash Shell provides. If you are new to
shell programming, the book provides an excellent introduction, covering
everything from the most basic to the most advanced features. And if you've
been writing shell scripts for years, it offers a great way to find out what
the new shell offers. Learning the bash Shell is also full of practical
examples of shell commands and programs that will make everyday use of Linux
that much easier. With this book, programmers will learn:
