What This Book Covers
This book addresses shell scripting, with a focus on Bourne shell and POSIX compatibility, but a wide coverage of more recent developments, particularly the Bash shell, which is almost universal in GNU/Linux operating systems, and is included with most commercial Unices too. The KornShell is also widely available in most such operating systems, both closed and open source.
