β¦ Synopsis
This book is about programming in the Bourne shell and its derivatives the Korn shell, the
Bourneagain shell, and the POSIX shell are among the most obvious relatives. This book does
not cover the many other UNIX and UNIX-like
shells, such as Plan 9βs rc, or the Berkeley csh.
It does cover a number of common UNIX commands, as well as a few somewhat less common
commands, and briefly looks into some common utilities, such as sed and awk, which have
historically been used heavily in shell scripting. While even further divergent things, such as
AppleScript, the Tcl shell, or even graphical shells like the Mac OS X Finder, are technically
shells, this book ignores them entirely, and hereafter uses the term shell to refer to the UNIX
Bourne shell family.
