The essential resource for bash

It’s simple: you need to know how to work with the bash shell if you want to get to the heart of Mac OS X, Linux, and other Unix systems. Updated for the most recent version, this concise little book puts all of the essential information about bash at your fingertips. You’ll quickly find answers to annoying questions that always come up when you’re writing shell scripts, like: What characters do you need to quote? How do you get variable substitution to do exactly what you want? How do you use arrays? And more.

This book covers:

* Invoking the Shell
* Syntax
* Functions
* Variables
* Arithmetic Expressions
* Command History
* Programmable Completion
* Job Control
* Shell Options
* Command Execution
