Learn the basics of BASH scripting! Bash is a concise scripting language that is used on Unix, Linux, and older versions of Windows and Apple Macs. During this course you will learn to create, execute, document, and comment a Bash script. See how to pass and use arguments; access, display, redirect, get input and output, and return results. Then learn to control and manipulate constants as well as running scripts. See how to create, manipulate, use, and export variables. Study ways to control variable scope, define environmental variables, and set string data output. Conclude by creating and use your own library of functions.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
-
Create, execute, document, and comment in a bash script
Use read and echo to get user input and display script output, and recall how to return results at the end of the script
Work with variables configured in the environment within a bash script
Access and use parameters passed in from the command line to a bash script
Use input and output redirection to send the output to a device, stdout, and stderr
Use command line tools and key presses to control and manipulate scripts
Work with bash's built-in variables to get data about the script and the environment -
Create, use, and manipulate variables within a script
Create constants, control and understand variable scope, and export variables
Use escaping and printf to control how variables and string data are displayed
Create and use functions within a bash script, creating a library of functions that can be used in another script
Use parameters to pass data to a function and add return codes to get the status or result from a function
Create, use, and run bash scripts that can manipulate variables, return results from the environment, and use functions
