各个 shell 可互相切换
ksh:$ sh:$ csh:guangzhou% bash:bash-3.00$
一、注意事项
命令和参数之间必需用空格隔开,参数和参数之间也必需用空格隔开。
一行不能超过256个字符;大小写有区分。
二、特殊字符含义
文件名以“.”开头的都是隐藏文件/目录,只需在文件/目录名前加“.”就可隐藏它。
~/ 表示主目录。
./ 当前目录(一个点)。
../ 上一级目录(两个点)。
; 多个命令一起用。
> >> 输出重定向 。将一个命令的输出内容写入到一个文件里面。如果该文件存在, 就将该文件的内容覆盖;
如果不存在就先创建该文件, 然后再写入内容。
输出重定向,意思就是说,将原来屏幕输出变为文件输出,即将内容输到文件中。
< << 输入重定向。 本来命令是通过键盘得到输入的,但是用小于号,就能够使命令从文件中得到输入。
\ 表示未写完,回车换行再继续。
* 匹配零个或者多个字符。
? 匹配一个字符。
[] 匹配中括号里的内容[a-z][A-Z][0-9]。
! 事件。
$ 取环境变量的值。
| 管道。把前一命令的输出作为后一命令的输入,把几个命令连接起来。
|经常跟tee连用,tee 把内容保存到文档并显示出来。
三、通用后接命令符
-a 所有(all)。
-e 所有(every),比a更详细。
-f 取消保护。
-i 添加提示。
-p 强制执行。
-r 目录管理。
分屏显示的中途操作
空格<space> 继续打开下一屏;
回车<return> 继续打开下一行;
b 另外开上一屏;
f 另外开下一屏;
h 帮助;
q或Ctrl+C 退出;
/字符串 从上往下查找匹配的字符串;
?字符串 从下往上查找匹配的字符串;
n 继续查找。
四、退出命令
exit 退出; DOS内部命令 用于退出当前的命令处理器(COMMAND.COM) 恢复前一个命令处理器。
Ctrl+d 跟exit一样效果,表中止本次操作。
logout 当csh时可用来退出,其他shell不可用。
clear 清屏,清除(之前的内容并未删除,只是没看到,拉回上面可以看回)。
五、目录管理命令
pwd 显示当前所在目录,打印当前目录的绝对路径。
cd 进入某目录,DOS内部命令 显示或改变当前目录。
cd回车/cd ~ 都是回到自己的主目录。
cd . 当前目录(空格再加一个点)。
cd .. 回到上一级目录(空格再加两个点)。 cd ../.. 向上两级。
cd /user/s0807 从绝对路径去到某目录。
cd ~/s0807 直接进入主目录下的某目录(“cd ~"相当于主目录的路径的简写)。
ls 显示当前目录的所有目录和文件。
用法 ls [-aAbcCdeEfFghHilLmnopqrRstux1@] [file...]
ls /etc/ 显示某目录下的所有文件和目录,如etc目录下的。
ls -l (list)列表显示文件(默认按文件名排序),
显示文件的权限、硬链接数(即包含文件数,普通文件是1,目录1+)、用户、组名、大小、修改日期、文件名。
ls -t (time)按修改时间排序,显示目录和文件。
ls -lt 是“-l”和“-t”的组合,按时间顺序显示列表。
ls -F 显示文件类型,目录“/ ”结尾;可执行文件“*”结尾;文本文件(none),没有结尾。
ls -R 递归显示目录结构。即该目录下的文件和各个副目录下的文件都一一显示。
ls -a 显示所有文件,包括隐藏文件。
文件权限
r 读权限。对普通文件来说,是读取该文件的权限;对目录来说,是获得该目录下的文件信息。
w 写权限。对文件,是修改;对目录,是增删文件与子目录。
(注 删除没有写权限的文件可以用 rm -f ,这是为了操作方便,是人性化的设计)。
x 执行权限;对目录,是进入该目录
- 表示没有权限
形式 - rw- r-- r--
其中 第一个是文件类型(-表普通文件,d表目录,l表软链接文件)
第2~4个是属主,生成文件时登录的人,权限最高,用u表示
第5~7个是属组,系统管理员分配的同组的一个或几个人,用g表示
第8~10个是其他人,除属组外的人,用o表示
所有人,包括属主、属组及其他人,用a表示
chmod 更改权限;
用法 chmod [-fR] <绝对模式> 文件 ...
chmod [-fR] <符号模式列表> 文件 ...
其中 <符号模式列表> 是一个用逗号分隔的表 [ugoa]{+|-|=}[rwxXlstugo]
chmod u+rw 给用户加权限。同理,u-rw也可以减权限。
chmod u=rw 给用户赋权限。与加权限不一样,赋权限有覆盖的效果。
主要形式有如下几种
chmod u+rw chmod u=rw
chmod u+r, u+w chmod u+rw,g+w, o+r
chmod 777( 用数字的方式设置权限是最常用的)
数字表示权限时,各数位分别表示属主、属组及其他人;
其中,1是执行权(Execute),2是写权限(Write),4是读权限(Read),
具体权限相当于三种权限的数相加,如7=1+2+4,即拥有读写和执行权。
另外,临时文件/目录的权限为rwt,可写却不可删,关机后自动删除;建临时目录:chmod 777 目录名,再chmod +t 目录名。
id 显示用户有效的uid(用户字)和gid(组名)
用法 id [-ap] [user]
id 显示自己的。
id root 显示root的。
id -a root 显示用户所在组的所有组名(如root用户,是所有组的组员)
df 查看文件系统,查看数据区
用法 df [-F FSType] [-abeghklntVvZ] [-o FSType 特定选项] [目录 | 块设备 | 资源]
df -k 以kbytes显示文件大小的查看文件系统方式
六、显示文件内容
more 分屏显示文件的内容。
用法 more [-cdflrsuw] [-行] [+行号] [+/模式] [文件名 ...]。
显示7个信息:用户名 密码 用户id(uid) 组id(gid) 描述信息(一般为空) 用户主目录 login shell(登录shell)
cat 显示文件内容,不分屏(一般用在小文件,大文件显示不下);合并文件,仅在屏幕上合并,并不改变原文件。
用法 cat [ -usvtebn ] [-|文件] ...
tail 实时监控文件,一般用在日志文件,可以只看其中的几行。
用法 tail [+/-[n][lbc][f]] [文件]
tail [+/-[n][l][r|f]] [文件]
七、文件/目录的增删
echo 显示一行内容。
touch 如果文件/目录不存在,则创建新文件/目录;如果文件存在,那么就是更新该文件的最后访问时间,
用法 touch [-acm] [-r ref_file] 文件...
touch [-acm] [MMDDhhmm[yy]] 文件...
touch [-acm] [-t [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS]] file...
mkdir 创建目录(必须有创建目录的权限)
用法 mkdir [-m 模式] [-p] dirname ...
mkdir dir1/dir2 在dir1下建dir2
mkdir dir13 dir4 dir5 连建多个
mkdir ~/games 用户主目录下建(默认在当前目录下创建)
mkdir -p dir6/dir7/dir8 强制创建dir8;若没有前面的目录,会自动创建dir6和dir7。
不用-p时,若没有dir6/dir7,则创建失败。
cp 复制文件/目录
cp 源文件 目标文件 复制文件;若已有文件则覆盖
cp -r 源目录 目标目录 复制目录;若已有目录则把源目录复制到目标目录下,
没有目标目录时,相当于完全复制源目录,只是文件名不同。
cp beans apple dir2 把beans、apple文件复制到dir2目录下
cp -i beans apple 增加是否覆盖的提示
mv 移动或重命名文件/目录
用法 mv [-f] [-i] f1 f2
mv [-f] [-i] f1 ... fn d1
mv [-f] [-i] d1 d2
mv 源文件名 目标文件名 若目标文件名还没有,则是源文件重命名为目标文件;若目标文件已存在,则源文件覆盖目标文件。
mv 源文件名 目标目录 移动文件
mv 源目录 目标目录 若目标目录不存在,则源目录重命名;若目标目录已存在,则源目录移动到目标目录下。
rm 删除文件/目录
用法 rm [-fiRr] 文件 ...
rm 文件名 删除文件。
rm -r 目录名 删除目录。
rm –f 文件 只要是该文件或者目录的拥有者,无论是否有权限删除,都可以用这个命令参数强行删除。
rm -rf * 删除所有文件及目录
rmdir 删除空目录。只可以删除空目录。
ln 创建硬链接或软链接,硬链接=同一文件的多个名字;软链接=快捷方式
用法 ln [-f] [-n] [-s] f1 [f2]
ln [-f] [-n] [-s] f1 ... fn d1
ln [-f] [-n] -s d1 d2
ln file1 file1.ln 创建硬链接。感觉是同一文件,删除一个,对另一个没有影响;须两个都删除才算删除。
ln -s file1 file1.sln 创建软链接。可跨系统操作,冲破操作权限;也是快捷方式。
八、时间显示
date 显示时间,精确到秒
用法 date [-u] mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.SS]

用法 find [-H | -L] 路径列表 谓词列表
find / -name perl 从根目录开始查找名为perl的文件。
find . -mtime 10 -print 从当前目录查找距离现在10天时修改的文件,显示在屏幕上。
(注 “10”表示第10天的时候;如果是“+10”表示10天以外的范围;“-10”表示10天以内的范围。)
grep 文件中查找字符;有过滤功能,只列出想要的内容
用法 grep -hblcnsviw 模式 文件 . . .
如 grep abc /etc/passwd 在passwd文件下找abc字符
wc 统计
-l 统计行数; -w统计单词数; -c 统计字符数
如 grep wang /etc/passwd|wc -l 统计passwd文件含“wang”的行数

BASH BUILTIN COMMANDS
Unless otherwise noted, each builtin command documented in this section as accepting options
preceded by - accepts -- to signify the end of the options. For example, the :, true,
false, and test builtins do not accept options.
: [arguments]
No effect; the command does nothing beyond expanding arguments and performing any
specified redirections. A zero exit code is returned.
. filename [arguments]
source filename [arguments]
Read and execute commands from filename in the current shell environment and return
the exit status of the last command executed from filename. If filename does not
contain a slash, file names in PATH are used to find the directory containing file-
name. The file searched for in PATH need not be executable. When bash is not in
posix mode, the current directory is searched if no file is found in PATH. If the
sourcepath option to the shopt builtin command is turned off, the PATH is not
searched. If any arguments are supplied, they become the positional parameters when
filename is executed. Otherwise the positional parameters are unchanged. The return
status is the status of the last command exited within the script (0 if no commands
are executed), and false if filename is not found or cannot be read.
alias [-p] [name[=value] ...]
Alias with no arguments or with the -p option prints the list of aliases in the form
alias name=value on standard output. When arguments are supplied, an alias is
defined for each name whose value is given. A trailing space in value causes the
next word to be checked for alias substitution when the alias is expanded. For each
name in the argument list for which no value is supplied, the name and value of the
alias is printed. Alias returns true unless a name is given for which no alias has
been defined.
bg [jobspec ...]
Resume each suspended job jobspec in the background, as if it had been started with
&. If jobspec is not present, the shell’s notion of the current job is used. bg
jobspec returns 0 unless run when job control is disabled or, when run with job con-
trol enabled, any specified jobspec was not found or was started without job control.
bind [-m keymap] [-lpsvPSV]
bind [-m keymap] [-q function] [-u function] [-r keyseq]
bind [-m keymap] -f filename
bind [-m keymap] -x keyseq:shell-command
bind [-m keymap] keyseq:function-name
bind readline-command
Display current readline key and function bindings, bind a key sequence to a readline
function or macro, or set a readline variable. Each non-option argument is a command
as it would appear in .inputrc, but each binding or command must be passed as a sepa-
rate argument; e.g., ’"\C-x\C-r": re-read-init-file’. Options, if supplied, have the
following meanings:
-m keymap
Use keymap as the keymap to be affected by the subsequent bindings. Accept-
able keymap names are emacs, emacs-standard, emacs-meta, emacs-ctlx, vi,
vi-move, vi-command, and vi-insert. vi is equivalent to vi-command; emacs is
equivalent to emacs-standard.
-l List the names of all readline functions.
-p Display readline function names and bindings in such a way that they can be
re-read.
-P List current readline function names and bindings.
-v Display readline variable names and values in such a way that they can be re-
read.
-V List current readline variable names and values.
-s Display readline key sequences bound to macros and the strings they output in
such a way that they can be re-read.
-S Display readline key sequences bound to macros and the strings they output.
-f filename
Read key bindings from filename.
-q function
Query about which keys invoke the named function.
-u function
Unbind all keys bound to the named function.
-r keyseq
Remove any current binding for keyseq.
-x keyseq:shell-command
Cause shell-command to be executed whenever keyseq is entered.
The return value is 0 unless an unrecognized option is given or an error occurred.
break [n]
Exit from within a for, while, until, or select loop. If n is specified, break n
levels. n must be ≥ 1. If n is greater than the number of enclosing loops, all
enclosing loops are exited. The return value is 0 unless the shell is not executing
a loop when break is executed.
builtin shell-builtin [arguments]
Execute the specified shell builtin, passing it arguments, and return its exit sta-
tus. This is useful when defining a function whose name is the same as a shell
builtin, retaining the functionality of the builtin within the function. The cd
builtin is commonly redefined this way. The return status is false if shell-builtin
is not a shell builtin command.
cd [-L|-P] [dir]
Change the current directory to dir. The variable HOME is the default dir. The
variable CDPATH defines the search path for the directory containing dir. Alterna-
tive directory names in CDPATH are separated by a colon (:). A null directory name
in CDPATH is the same as the current directory, i.e., ‘‘.’’. If dir begins with a
slash (/), then CDPATH is not used. The -P option says to use the physical directory
structure instead of following symbolic links (see also the -P option to the set
builtin command); the -L option forces symbolic links to be followed. An argument of
- is equivalent to $OLDPWD. If a non-empty directory name from CDPATH is used, or if
- is the first argument, and the directory change is successful, the absolute path-
name of the new working directory is written to the standard output. The return
value is true if the directory was successfully changed; false otherwise.
caller [expr]
Returns the context of any active subroutine call (a shell function or a script exe-
cuted with the . or source builtins. Without expr, caller displays the line number
and source filename of the current subroutine call. If a non-negative integer is
supplied as expr, caller displays the line number, subroutine name, and source file
corresponding to that position in the current execution call stack. This extra
information may be used, for example, to print a stack trace. The current frame is
frame 0. The return value is 0 unless the shell is not executing a subroutine call
or expr does not correspond to a valid position in the call stack.
command [-pVv] command [arg ...]
Run command with args suppressing the normal shell function lookup. Only builtin com-
mands or commands found in the PATH are executed. If the -p option is given, the
search for command is performed using a default value for PATH that is guaranteed to
find all of the standard utilities. If either the -V or -v option is supplied, a
description of command is printed. The -v option causes a single word indicating the
command or file name used to invoke command to be displayed; the -V option produces a
more verbose description. If the -V or -v option is supplied, the exit status is 0
if command was found, and 1 if not. If neither option is supplied and an error
occurred or command cannot be found, the exit status is 127. Otherwise, the exit
status of the command builtin is the exit status of command.
compgen [option] [word]
Generate possible completion matches for word according to the options, which may be
any option accepted by the complete builtin with the exception of -p and -r, and
write the matches to the standard output. When using the -F or -C options, the vari-
ous shell variables set by the programmable completion facilities, while available,
will not have useful values.
The matches will be generated in the same way as if the programmable completion code
had generated them directly from a completion specification with the same flags. If
word is specified, only those completions matching word will be displayed.
The return value is true unless an invalid option is supplied, or no matches were
generated.
complete [-abcdefgjksuv] [-o comp-option] [-A action] [-G globpat] [-W wordlist] [-P prefix]
[-S suffix]
[-X filterpat] [-F function] [-C command] name [name ...]
complete -pr [name ...]
Specify how arguments to each name should be completed. If the -p option is sup-
plied, or if no options are supplied, existing completion specifications are printed
in a way that allows them to be reused as input. The -r option removes a completion
specification for each name, or, if no names are supplied, all completion specifica-
tions.
The process of applying these completion specifications when word completion is
attempted is described above under Programmable Completion.
Other options, if specified, have the following meanings. The arguments to the -G,
-W, and -X options (and, if necessary, the -P and -S options) should be quoted to
protect them from expansion before the complete builtin is invoked.
-o comp-option
The comp-option controls several aspects of the compspec’s behavior beyond
the simple generation of completions. comp-option may be one of:
bashdefault
Perform the rest of the default bash completions if the compspec gen-
erates no matches.
default Use readline’s default filename completion if the compspec generates
no matches.
dirnames
Perform directory name completion if the compspec generates no
matches.
filenames
Tell readline that the compspec generates filenames, so it can per-
form any filename-specific processing (like adding a slash to direc-
tory names or suppressing trailing spaces). Intended to be used with
shell functions.
nospace Tell readline not to append a space (the default) to words completed
at the end of the line.
plusdirs
After any matches defined by the compspec are generated, directory
name completion is attempted and any matches are added to the results
of the other actions.
-A action
The action may be one of the following to generate a list of possible comple-
tions:
alias Alias names. May also be specified as -a.
arrayvar
Array variable names.
binding Readline key binding names.
builtin Names of shell builtin commands. May also be specified as -b.
command Command names. May also be specified as -c.
directory
Directory names. May also be specified as -d.
disabled
Names of disabled shell builtins.
enabled Names of enabled shell builtins.
export Names of exported shell variables. May also be specified as -e.
file File names. May also be specified as -f.
function
Names of shell functions.
group Group names. May also be specified as -g.
helptopic
Help topics as accepted by the help builtin.
hostname
Hostnames, as taken from the file specified by the HOSTFILE shell
variable.
job Job names, if job control is active. May also be specified as -j.
keyword Shell reserved words. May also be specified as -k.
running Names of running jobs, if job control is active.
service Service names. May also be specified as -s.
setopt Valid arguments for the -o option to the set builtin.
shopt Shell option names as accepted by the shopt builtin.
signal Signal names.
stopped Names of stopped jobs, if job control is active.
user User names. May also be specified as -u.
variable
Names of all shell variables. May also be specified as -v.
-G globpat
The filename expansion pattern globpat is expanded to generate the possible
completions.
-W wordlist
The wordlist is split using the characters in the IFS special variable as
delimiters, and each resultant word is expanded. The possible completions
are the members of the resultant list which match the word being completed.
-C command
command is executed in a subshell environment, and its output is used as the
possible completions.
-F function
The shell function function is executed in the current shell environment.
When it finishes, the possible completions are retrieved from the value of
the COMPREPLY array variable.
-X filterpat
filterpat is a pattern as used for filename expansion. It is applied to the
list of possible completions generated by the preceding options and argu-
ments, and each completion matching filterpat is removed from the list. A
leading ! in filterpat negates the pattern; in this case, any completion not
matching filterpat is removed.
-P prefix
prefix is added at the beginning of each possible completion after all other
options have been applied.
-S suffix
suffix is appended to each possible completion after all other options have
been applied.
The return value is true unless an invalid option is supplied, an option other than
-p or -r is supplied without a name argument, an attempt is made to remove a comple-
tion specification for a name for which no specification exists, or an error occurs
adding a completion specification.
continue [n]
Resume the next iteration of the enclosing for, while, until, or select loop. If n
is specified, resume at the nth enclosing loop. n must be ≥ 1. If n is greater than
the number of enclosing loops, the last enclosing loop (the ‘‘top-level’’ loop) is
resumed. The return value is 0 unless the shell is not executing a loop when con-
tinue is executed.
declare [-afFirtx] [-p] [name[=value] ...]
typeset [-afFirtx] [-p] [name[=value] ...]
Declare variables and/or give them attributes. If no names are given then display
the values of variables. The -p option will display the attributes and values of
each name. When -p is used, additional options are ignored. The -F option inhibits
the display of function definitions; only the function name and attributes are
printed. If the extdebug shell option is enabled using shopt, the source file name
and line number where the function is defined are displayed as well. The -F option
implies -f. The following options can be used to restrict output to variables with
the specified attribute or to give variables attributes:
-a Each name is an array variable (see Arrays above).
-f Use function names only.
-i The variable is treated as an integer; arithmetic evaluation (see ARITHMETIC
EVALUATION ) is performed when the variable is assigned a value.
-r Make names readonly. These names cannot then be assigned values by subsequent
assignment statements or unset.
-t Give each name the trace attribute. Traced functions inherit the DEBUG and
RETURN traps from the calling shell. The trace attribute has no special mean-
ing for variables.
-x Mark names for export to subsequent commands via the environment.
Using ‘+’ instead of ‘-’ turns off the attribute instead, with the exception that +a
may not be used to destroy an array variable. When used in a function, makes each
name local, as with the local command. If a variable name is followed by =value, the
value of the variable is set to value. The return value is 0 unless an invalid
option is encountered, an attempt is made to define a function using ‘‘-f foo=bar’’,
an attempt is made to assign a value to a readonly variable, an attempt is made to
assign a value to an array variable without using the compound assignment syntax (see
Arrays above), one of the names is not a valid shell variable name, an attempt is
made to turn off readonly status for a readonly variable, an attempt is made to turn
off array status for an array variable, or an attempt is made to display a non-exis-
tent function with -f.
dirs [-clpv] [+n] [-n]
Without options, displays the list of currently remembered directories. The default
display is on a single line with directory names separated by spaces. Directories
are added to the list with the pushd command; the popd command removes entries from
the list.
+n Displays the nth entry counting from the left of the list shown by dirs when
invoked without options, starting with zero.
-n Displays the nth entry counting from the right of the list shown by dirs when
invoked without options, starting with zero.
-c Clears the directory stack by deleting all of the entries.
-l Produces a longer listing; the default listing format uses a tilde to denote
the home directory.
-p Print the directory stack with one entry per line.
-v Print the directory stack with one entry per line, prefixing each entry with
its index in the stack.
The return value is 0 unless an invalid option is supplied or n indexes beyond the
end of the directory stack.
disown [-ar] [-h] [jobspec ...]
Without options, each jobspec is removed from the table of active jobs. If the -h
option is given, each jobspec is not removed from the table, but is marked so that
SIGHUP is not sent to the job if the shell receives a SIGHUP. If no jobspec is
present, and neither the -a nor the -r option is supplied, the current job is used.
If no jobspec is supplied, the -a option means to remove or mark all jobs; the -r
option without a jobspec argument restricts operation to running jobs. The return
value is 0 unless a jobspec does not specify a valid job.
echo [-neE] [arg ...]
Output the args, separated by spaces, followed by a newline. The return status is
always 0. If -n is specified, the trailing newline is suppressed. If the -e option
is given, interpretation of the following backslash-escaped characters is enabled.
The -E option disables the interpretation of these escape characters, even on systems
where they are interpreted by default. The xpg_echo shell option may be used to
dynamically determine whether or not echo expands these escape characters by default.
echo does not interpret -- to mean the end of options. echo interprets the following
escape sequences:
\a alert (bell)
\b backspace
\c suppress trailing newline
\e an escape character
\f form feed
\n new line
\r carriage return
\t horizontal tab
\v vertical tab
\\ backslash
\0nnn the eight-bit character whose value is the octal value nnn (zero to three
octal digits)
\nnn the eight-bit character whose value is the octal value nnn (one to three octal
digits)
\xHH the eight-bit character whose value is the hexadecimal value HH (one or two
hex digits)
enable [-adnps] [-f filename] [name ...]
Enable and disable builtin shell commands. Disabling a builtin allows a disk command
which has the same name as a shell builtin to be executed without specifying a full
pathname, even though the shell normally searches for builtins before disk commands.
If -n is used, each name is disabled; otherwise, names are enabled. For example, to
use the test binary found via the PATH instead of the shell builtin version, run
‘‘enable -n test’’. The -f option means to load the new builtin command name from
shared object filename, on systems that support dynamic loading. The -d option will
delete a builtin previously loaded with -f. If no name arguments are given, or if
the -p option is supplied, a list of shell builtins is printed. With no other option
arguments, the list consists of all enabled shell builtins. If -n is supplied, only
disabled builtins are printed. If -a is supplied, the list printed includes all
builtins, with an indication of whether or not each is enabled. If -s is supplied,
the output is restricted to the POSIX special builtins. The return value is 0 unless
a name is not a shell builtin or there is an error loading a new builtin from a
shared object.
eval [arg ...]
The args are read and concatenated together into a single command. This command is
then read and executed by the shell, and its exit status is returned as the value of
eval. If there are no args, or only null arguments, eval returns 0.
exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [arguments]]
If command is specified, it replaces the shell. No new process is created. The
arguments become the arguments to command. If the -l option is supplied, the shell
places a dash at the beginning of the zeroth arg passed to command. This is what
login(1) does. The -c option causes command to be executed with an empty environ-
ment. If -a is supplied, the shell passes name as the zeroth argument to the exe-
cuted command. If command cannot be executed for some reason, a non-interactive
shell exits, unless the shell option execfail is enabled, in which case it returns
failure. An interactive shell returns failure if the file cannot be executed. If
command is not specified, any redirections take effect in the current shell, and the
return status is 0. If there is a redirection error, the return status is 1.
exit [n]
Cause the shell to exit with a status of n. If n is omitted, the exit status is that
of the last command executed. A trap on EXIT is executed before the shell termi-
nates.
export [-fn] [name[=word]] ...
export -p
The supplied names are marked for automatic export to the environment of subsequently
executed commands. If the -f option is given, the names refer to functions. If no
names are given, or if the -p option is supplied, a list of all names that are
exported in this shell is printed. The -n option causes the export property to be
removed from each name. If a variable name is followed by =word, the value of the
variable is set to word. export returns an exit status of 0 unless an invalid option
is encountered, one of the names is not a valid shell variable name, or -f is sup-
plied with a name that is not a function.
fc [-e ename] [-nlr] [first] [last]
fc -s [pat=rep] [cmd]
Fix Command. In the first form, a range of commands from first to last is selected
from the history list. First and last may be specified as a string (to locate the
last command beginning with that string) or as a number (an index into the history
list, where a negative number is used as an offset from the current command number).
If last is not specified it is set to the current command for listing (so that ‘‘fc
-l -10’’ prints the last 10 commands) and to first otherwise. If first is not speci-
fied it is set to the previous command for editing and -16 for listing.
The -n option suppresses the command numbers when listing. The -r option reverses
the order of the commands. If the -l option is given, the commands are listed on
standard output. Otherwise, the editor given by ename is invoked on a file contain-
ing those commands. If ename is not given, the value of the FCEDIT variable is used,
and the value of EDITOR if FCEDIT is not set. If neither variable is set, is used.
When editing is complete, the edited commands are echoed and executed.
In the second form, command is re-executed after each instance of pat is replaced by
rep. A useful alias to use with this is ‘‘r="fc -s"’’, so that typing ‘‘r cc’’ runs
the last command beginning with ‘‘cc’’ and typing ‘‘r’’ re-executes the last command.
If the first form is used, the return value is 0 unless an invalid option is encoun-
tered or first or last specify history lines out of range. If the -e option is sup-
plied, the return value is the value of the last command executed or failure if an
error occurs with the temporary file of commands. If the second form is used, the
return status is that of the command re-executed, unless cmd does not specify a valid
history line, in which case fc returns failure.
fg [jobspec]
Resume jobspec in the foreground, and make it the current job. If jobspec is not
present, the shell’s notion of the current job is used. The return value is that of
the command placed into the foreground, or failure if run when job control is dis-
abled or, when run with job control enabled, if jobspec does not specify a valid job
or jobspec specifies a job that was started without job control.
getopts optstring name [args]
getopts is used by shell procedures to parse positional parameters. optstring con-
tains the option characters to be recognized; if a character is followed by a colon,
the option is expected to have an argument, which should be separated from it by
white space. The colon and question mark characters may not be used as option char-
acters. Each time it is invoked, getopts places the next option in the shell vari-
able name, initializing name if it does not exist, and the index of the next argument
to be processed into the variable OPTIND. OPTIND is initialized to 1 each time the
shell or a shell script is invoked. When an option requires an argument, getopts
places that argument into the variable OPTARG. The shell does not reset OPTIND auto-
matically; it must be manually reset between multiple calls to getopts within the
same shell invocation if a new set of parameters is to be used.
When the end of options is encountered, getopts exits with a return value greater
than zero. OPTIND is set to the index of the first non-option argument, and name is
set to ?.
getopts normally parses the positional parameters, but if more arguments are given in
args, getopts parses those instead.
getopts can report errors in two ways. If the first character of optstring is a
colon, silent error reporting is used. In normal operation diagnostic messages are
printed when invalid options or missing option arguments are encountered. If the
variable OPTERR is set to 0, no error messages will be displayed, even if the first
character of optstring is not a colon.
If an invalid option is seen, getopts places ? into name and, if not silent, prints
an error message and unsets OPTARG. If getopts is silent, the option character found
is placed in OPTARG and no diagnostic message is printed.
If a required argument is not found, and getopts is not silent, a question mark (?)
is placed in name, OPTARG is unset, and a diagnostic message is printed. If getopts
is silent, then a colon (:) is placed in name and OPTARG is set to the option charac-
ter found.
getopts returns true if an option, specified or unspecified, is found. It returns
false if the end of options is encountered or an error occurs.
hash [-lr] [-p filename] [-dt] [name]
For each name, the full file name of the command is determined by searching the
directories in $PATH and remembered. If the -p option is supplied, no path search is
performed, and filename is used as the full file name of the command. The -r option
causes the shell to forget all remembered locations. The -d option causes the shell
to forget the remembered location of each name. If the -t option is supplied, the
full pathname to which each name corresponds is printed. If multiple name arguments
are supplied with -t, the name is printed before the hashed full pathname. The -l
option causes output to be displayed in a format that may be reused as input. If no
arguments are given, or if only -l is supplied, information about remembered commands
is printed. The return status is true unless a name is not found or an invalid
option is supplied.
help [-s] [pattern]
Display helpful information about builtin commands. If pattern is specified, help
gives detailed help on all commands matching pattern; otherwise help for all the
builtins and shell control structures is printed. The -s option restricts the infor-
mation displayed to a short usage synopsis. The return status is 0 unless no command
matches pattern.
history [n]
history -c
history -d offset
history -anrw [filename]
history -p arg [arg ...]
history -s arg [arg ...]
With no options, display the command history list with line numbers. Lines listed
with a * have been modified. An argument of n lists only the last n lines. If the
shell variable HISTTIMEFORMAT is set and not null, it is used as a format string for
strftime(3) to display the time stamp associated with each displayed history entry.
No intervening blank is printed between the formatted time stamp and the history
line. If filename is supplied, it is used as the name of the history file; if not,
the value of HISTFILE is used. Options, if supplied, have the following meanings:
-c Clear the history list by deleting all the entries.
-d offset
Delete the history entry at position offset.
-a Append the ‘‘new’’ history lines (history lines entered since the beginning of
the current bash session) to the history file.
-n Read the history lines not already read from the history file into the current
history list. These are lines appended to the history file since the begin-
ning of the current bash session.
-r Read the contents of the history file and use them as the current history.
-w Write the current history to the history file, overwriting the history file’s
contents.
-p Perform history substitution on the following args and display the result on
the standard output. Does not store the results in the history list. Each
arg must be quoted to disable normal history expansion.
-s Store the args in the history list as a single entry. The last command in the
history list is removed before the args are added.
If the HISTTIMEFORMAT is set, the time stamp information associated with each history
entry is written to the history file. The return value is 0 unless an invalid option
is encountered, an error occurs while reading or writing the history file, an invalid
offset is supplied as an argument to -d, or the history expansion supplied as an
argument to -p fails.
jobs [-lnprs] [ jobspec ... ]
jobs -x command [ args ... ]
The first form lists the active jobs. The options have the following meanings:
-l List process IDs in addition to the normal information.
-p List only the process ID of the job’s process group leader.
-n Display information only about jobs that have changed status since the user
was last notified of their status.
-r Restrict output to running jobs.
-s Restrict output to stopped jobs.
If jobspec is given, output is restricted to information about that job. The return
status is 0 unless an invalid option is encountered or an invalid jobspec is sup-
plied.
If the -x option is supplied, jobs replaces any jobspec found in command or args with
the corresponding process group ID, and executes command passing it args, returning
its exit status.
kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] [pid | jobspec] ...
kill -l [sigspec | exit_status]
Send the signal named by sigspec or signum to the processes named by pid or jobspec.
sigspec is either a case-insensitive signal name such as SIGKILL (with or without the
SIG prefix) or a signal number; signum is a signal number. If sigspec is not
present, then SIGTERM is assumed. An argument of -l lists the signal names. If any
arguments are supplied when -l is given, the names of the signals corresponding to
the arguments are listed, and the return status is 0. The exit_status argument to -l
is a number specifying either a signal number or the exit status of a process termi-
nated by a signal. kill returns true if at least one signal was successfully sent,
or false if an error occurs or an invalid option is encountered.
let arg [arg ...]
Each arg is an arithmetic expression to be evaluated (see ARITHMETIC EVALUATION). If
the last arg evaluates to 0, let returns 1; 0 is returned otherwise.
local [option] [name[=value] ...]
For each argument, a local variable named name is created, and assigned value. The
option can be any of the options accepted by declare. When local is used within a
function, it causes the variable name to have a visible scope restricted to that
function and its children. With no operands, local writes a list of local variables
to the standard output. It is an error to use local when not within a function. The
return status is 0 unless local is used outside a function, an invalid name is sup-
plied, or name is a readonly variable.
logout Exit a login shell.
popd [-n] [+n] [-n]
Removes entries from the directory stack. With no arguments, removes the top direc-
tory from the stack, and performs a cd to the new top directory. Arguments, if sup-
plied, have the following meanings:
+n Removes the nth entry counting from the left of the list shown by dirs, start-
ing with zero. For example: ‘‘popd +0’’ removes the first directory, ‘‘popd
+1’’ the second.
-n Removes the nth entry counting from the right of the list shown by dirs,
starting with zero. For example: ‘‘popd -0’’ removes the last directory,
‘‘popd -1’’ the next to last.
-n Suppresses the normal change of directory when removing directories from the
stack, so that only the stack is manipulated.
If the popd command is successful, a dirs is performed as well, and the return status
is 0. popd returns false if an invalid option is encountered, the directory stack is
empty, a non-existent directory stack entry is specified, or the directory change
fails.
printf [-v var] format [arguments]
Write the formatted arguments to the standard output under the control of the format.
The format is a character string which contains three types of objects: plain charac-
ters, which are simply copied to standard output, character escape sequences, which
are converted and copied to the standard output, and format specifications, each of
which causes printing of the next successive argument. In addition to the standard
printf(1) formats, %b causes printf to expand backslash escape sequences in the cor-
responding argument (except that \c terminates output, backslashes in \', \", and \?
are not removed, and octal escapes beginning with \0 may contain up to four digits),
and %q causes printf to output the corresponding argument in a format that can be
reused as shell input.
The -v option causes the output to be assigned to the variable var rather than being
printed to the standard output.
The format is reused as necessary to consume all of the arguments. If the format
requires more arguments than are supplied, the extra format specifications behave as
if a zero value or null string, as appropriate, had been supplied. The return value
is zero on success, non-zero on failure.
pushd [-n] [dir]
pushd [-n] [+n] [-n]
Adds a directory to the top of the directory stack, or rotates the stack, making the
new top of the stack the current working directory. With no arguments, exchanges the
top two directories and returns 0, unless the directory stack is empty. Arguments,
if supplied, have the following meanings:
+n Rotates the stack so that the nth directory (counting from the left of the
list shown by dirs, starting with zero) is at the top.
-n Rotates the stack so that the nth directory (counting from the right of the
list shown by dirs, starting with zero) is at the top.
-n Suppresses the normal change of directory when adding directories to the
stack, so that only the stack is manipulated.
dir Adds dir to the directory stack at the top, making it the new current working
directory.
If the pushd command is successful, a dirs is performed as well. If the first form
is used, pushd returns 0 unless the cd to dir fails. With the second form, pushd
returns 0 unless the directory stack is empty, a non-existent directory stack element
is specified, or the directory change to the specified new current directory fails.
pwd [-LP]
Print the absolute pathname of the current working directory. The pathname printed
contains no symbolic links if the -P option is supplied or the -o physical option to
the set builtin command is enabled. If the -L option is used, the pathname printed
may contain symbolic links. The return status is 0 unless an error occurs while
reading the name of the current directory or an invalid option is supplied.
read [-ers] [-u fd] [-t timeout] [-a aname] [-p prompt] [-n nchars] [-d delim] [name ...]
One line is read from the standard input, or from the file descriptor fd supplied as
an argument to the -u option, and the first word is assigned to the first name, the
second word to the second name, and so on, with leftover words and their intervening
separators assigned to the last name. If there are fewer words read from the input
stream than names, the remaining names are assigned empty values. The characters in
IFS are used to split the line into words. The backslash character (\) may be used
to remove any special meaning for the next character read and for line continuation.
Options, if supplied, have the following meanings:
-a aname
The words are assigned to sequential indices of the array variable aname,
starting at 0. aname is unset before any new values are assigned. Other name
arguments are ignored.
-d delim
The first character of delim is used to terminate the input line, rather than
newline.
-e If the standard input is coming from a terminal, readline (see READLINE above)
is used to obtain the line.
-n nchars
read returns after reading nchars characters rather than waiting for a com-
plete line of input.
-p prompt
Display prompt on standard error, without a trailing newline, before attempt-
ing to read any input. The prompt is displayed only if input is coming from a
terminal.
-r Backslash does not act as an escape character. The backslash is considered to
be part of the line. In particular, a backslash-newline pair may not be used
as a line continuation.
-s Silent mode. If input is coming from a terminal, characters are not echoed.
-t timeout
Cause read to time out and return failure if a complete line of input is not
read within timeout seconds. This option has no effect if read is not reading
input from the terminal or a pipe.
-u fd Read input from file descriptor fd.
If no names are supplied, the line read is assigned to the variable REPLY. The
return code is zero, unless end-of-file is encountered, read times out, or an invalid
file descriptor is supplied as the argument to -u.
readonly [-apf] [name[=word] ...]
The given names are marked readonly; the values of these names may not be changed by
subsequent assignment. If the -f option is supplied, the functions corresponding to
the names are so marked. The -a option restricts the variables to arrays. If no
name arguments are given, or if the -p option is supplied, a list of all readonly
names is printed. The -p option causes output to be displayed in a format that may
be reused as input. If a variable name is followed by =word, the value of the vari-
able is set to word. The return status is 0 unless an invalid option is encountered,
one of the names is not a valid shell variable name, or -f is supplied with a name
that is not a function.
return [n]
Causes a function to exit with the return value specified by n. If n is omitted, the
return status is that of the last command executed in the function body. If used
outside a function, but during execution of a script by the . (source) command, it
causes the shell to stop executing that script and return either n or the exit status
of the last command executed within the script as the exit status of the script. If
used outside a function and not during execution of a script by ., the return status
is false. Any command associated with the RETURN trap is executed before execution
resumes after the function or script.
set [--abefhkmnptuvxBCHP] [-o option] [arg ...]
Without options, the name and value of each shell variable are displayed in a format
that can be reused as input for setting or resetting the currently-set variables.
Read-only variables cannot be reset. In posix mode, only shell variables are listed.
The output is sorted according to the current locale. When options are specified,
they set or unset shell attributes. Any arguments remaining after the options are
processed are treated as values for the positional parameters and are assigned, in
order, to $1, $2, ... $n. Options, if specified, have the following meanings:
-a Automatically mark variables and functions which are modified or created for
export to the environment of subsequent commands.
-b Report the status of terminated background jobs immediately, rather than
before the next primary prompt. This is effective only when job control is
enabled.
-e Exit immediately if a simple command (see SHELL GRAMMAR above) exits with a
non-zero status. The shell does not exit if the command that fails is part
of the command list immediately following a while or until keyword, part of
the test in an if statement, part of a && or ││ list, or if the command’s
return value is being inverted via !. A trap on ERR, if set, is executed
before the shell exits.
-f Disable pathname expansion.
-h Remember the location of commands as they are looked up for execution. This
is enabled by default.
-k All arguments in the form of assignment statements are placed in the environ-
ment for a command, not just those that precede the command name.
-m Monitor mode. Job control is enabled. This option is on by default for
interactive shells on systems that support it (see JOB CONTROL above). Back-
ground processes run in a separate process group and a line containing their
exit status is printed upon their completion.
-n Read commands but do not execute them. This may be used to check a shell
script for syntax errors. This is ignored by interactive shells.
-o option-name
The option-name can be one of the following:
allexport
Same as -a.
braceexpand
Same as -B.
emacs Use an emacs-style command line editing interface. This is enabled
by default when the shell is interactive, unless the shell is started
with the --noediting option.
errtrace
Same as -E.
functrace
Same as -T.
errexit Same as -e.
hashall Same as -h.
histexpand
Same as -H.
history Enable command history, as described above under HISTORY. This
option is on by default in interactive shells.
ignoreeof
The effect is as if the shell command ‘‘IGNOREEOF=10’’ had been exe-
cuted (see Shell Variables above).
keyword Same as -k.
monitor Same as -m.
noclobber
Same as -C.
noexec Same as -n.
noglob Same as -f. nolog Currently ignored.
notify Same as -b.
nounset Same as -u.
onecmd Same as -t.
physical
Same as -P.
pipefail
If set, the return value of a pipeline is the value of the last
(rightmost) command to exit with a non-zero status, or zero if all
commands in the pipeline exit successfully. This option is disabled
by default.
posix Change the behavior of bash where the default operation differs from
the POSIX 1003.2 standard to match the standard (posix mode).
privileged
Same as -p.
verbose Same as -v.
vi Use a vi-style command line editing interface.
xtrace Same as -x.
If -o is supplied with no option-name, the values of the current options are
printed. If +o is supplied with no option-name, a series of set commands to
recreate the current option settings is displayed on the standard output.
-p Turn on privileged mode. In this mode, the $ENV and $BASH_ENV files are not
processed, shell functions are not inherited from the environment, and the
SHELLOPTS variable, if it appears in the environment, is ignored. If the
shell is started with the effective user (group) id not equal to the real
user (group) id, and the -p option is not supplied, these actions are taken
and the effective user id is set to the real user id. If the -p option is
supplied at startup, the effective user id is not reset. Turning this option
off causes the effective user and group ids to be set to the real user and
group ids.
-t Exit after reading and executing one command.
-u Treat unset variables as an error when performing parameter expansion. If
expansion is attempted on an unset variable, the shell prints an error mes-
sage, and, if not interactive, exits with a non-zero status.
-v Print shell input lines as they are read.
-x After expanding each simple command, for command, case command, select com-
mand, or arithmetic for command, display the expanded value of PS4, followed
by the command and its expanded arguments or associated word list.
-B The shell performs brace expansion (see Brace Expansion above). This is on
by default.
-C If set, bash does not overwrite an existing file with the >, >&, and <> redi-
rection operators. This may be overridden when creating output files by
using the redirection operator >| instead of >.
-E If set, any trap on ERR is inherited by shell functions, command substitu-
tions, and commands executed in a subshell environment. The ERR trap is nor-
mally not inherited in such cases.
-H Enable ! style history substitution. This option is on by default when the
shell is interactive.
-P If set, the shell does not follow symbolic links when executing commands such
as cd that change the current working directory. It uses the physical direc-
tory structure instead. By default, bash follows the logical chain of direc-
tories when performing commands which change the current directory.
-T If set, any traps on DEBUG and RETURN are inherited by shell functions, com-
mand substitutions, and commands executed in a subshell environment. The
DEBUG and RETURN traps are normally not inherited in such cases.
-- If no arguments follow this option, then the positional parameters are unset.
Otherwise, the positional parameters are set to the args, even if some of
them begin with a -.
- Signal the end of options, cause all remaining args to be assigned to the
positional parameters. The -x and -v options are turned off. If there are
no args, the positional parameters remain unchanged.
The options are off by default unless otherwise noted. Using + rather than - causes
these options to be turned off. The options can also be specified as arguments to an
invocation of the shell. The current set of options may be found in $-. The return
status is always true unless an invalid option is encountered.
shift [n]
The positional parameters from n+1 ... are renamed to $1 .... Parameters represented
by the numbers $# down to $#-n+1 are unset. n must be a non-negative number less
than or equal to $#. If n is 0, no parameters are changed. If n is not given, it is
assumed to be 1. If n is greater than $#, the positional parameters are not changed.
The return status is greater than zero if n is greater than $# or less than zero;
otherwise 0.
shopt [-pqsu] [-o] [optname ...]
Toggle the values of variables controlling optional shell behavior. With no options,
or with the -p option, a list of all settable options is displayed, with an indica-
tion of whether or not each is set. The -p option causes output to be displayed in a
form that may be reused as input. Other options have the following meanings:
-s Enable (set) each optname.
-u Disable (unset) each optname.
-q Suppresses normal output (quiet mode); the return status indicates whether the
optname is set or unset. If multiple optname arguments are given with -q, the
return status is zero if all optnames are enabled; non-zero otherwise.
-o Restricts the values of optname to be those defined for the -o option to the
set builtin.
If either -s or -u is used with no optname arguments, the display is limited to those
options which are set or unset, respectively. Unless otherwise noted, the shopt
options are disabled (unset) by default.
The return status when listing options is zero if all optnames are enabled, non-zero
otherwise. When setting or unsetting options, the return status is zero unless an
optname is not a valid shell option.
The list of shopt options is:
cdable_vars
If set, an argument to the cd builtin command that is not a directory is
assumed to be the name of a variable whose value is the directory to change
to.
cdspell If set, minor errors in the spelling of a directory component in a cd command
will be corrected. The errors checked for are transposed characters, a miss-
ing character, and one character too many. If a correction is found, the
corrected file name is printed, and the command proceeds. This option is
only used by interactive shells.
checkhash
If set, bash checks that a command found in the hash table exists before try-
ing to execute it. If a hashed command no longer exists, a normal path
search is performed.
checkwinsize
If set, bash checks the window size after each command and, if necessary,
updates the values of LINES and COLUMNS.
cmdhist If set, bash attempts to save all lines of a multiple-line command in the
same history entry. This allows easy re-editing of multi-line commands.
dotglob If set, bash includes filenames beginning with a ‘.’ in the results of path-
name expansion.
execfail
If set, a non-interactive shell will not exit if it cannot execute the file
specified as an argument to the exec builtin command. An interactive shell
does not exit if exec fails.
expand_aliases
If set, aliases are expanded as described above under ALIASES. This option
is enabled by default for interactive shells.
extdebug
If set, behavior intended for use by debuggers is enabled:
1. The -F option to the declare builtin displays the source file name and
line number corresponding to each function name supplied as an argu-
ment.
2. If the command run by the DEBUG trap returns a non-zero value, the
next command is skipped and not executed.
3. If the command run by the DEBUG trap returns a value of 2, and the
shell is executing in a subroutine (a shell function or a shell script
executed by the . or source builtins), a call to return is simulated.
4. BASH_ARGC and BASH_ARGV are updated as described in their descriptions
above.
5. Function tracing is enabled: command substitution, shell functions,
and subshells invoked with ( command ) inherit the DEBUG and RETURN
traps.
6. Error tracing is enabled: command substitution, shell functions, and
subshells invoked with ( command ) inherit the ERROR trap.
extglob If set, the extended pattern matching features described above under Pathname
Expansion are enabled.
extquote
If set, $'string' and $"string" quoting is performed within ${parameter}
expansions enclosed in double quotes. This option is enabled by default.
failglob
If set, patterns which fail to match filenames during pathname expansion
result in an expansion error.
force_fignore
If set, the suffixes specified by the FIGNORE shell variable cause words to
be ignored when performing word completion even if the ignored words are the
only possible completions. See SHELL VARIABLES above for a description of
FIGNORE. This option is enabled by default.
gnu_errfmt
If set, shell error messages are written in the standard GNU error message
format.
histappend
If set, the history list is appended to the file named by the value of the
HISTFILE variable when the shell exits, rather than overwriting the file.
histreedit
If set, and readline is being used, a user is given the opportunity to re-
edit a failed history substitution.
histverify
If set, and readline is being used, the results of history substitution are
not immediately passed to the shell parser. Instead, the resulting line is
loaded into the readline editing buffer, allowing further modification.
hostcomplete
If set, and readline is being used, bash will attempt to perform hostname
completion when a word containing a @ is being completed (see Completing
under READLINE above). This is enabled by default.
huponexit
If set, bash will send SIGHUP to all jobs when an interactive login shell
exits.
interactive_comments
If set, allow a word beginning with # to cause that word and all remaining
characters on that line to be ignored in an interactive shell (see COMMENTS
above). This option is enabled by default.
lithist If set, and the cmdhist option is enabled, multi-line commands are saved to
the history with embedded newlines rather than using semicolon separators
where possible.
login_shell
The shell sets this option if it is started as a login shell (see INVOCATION
above). The value may not be changed.
mailwarn
If set, and a file that bash is checking for mail has been accessed since the
last time it was checked, the message ‘‘The mail in mailfile has been read’’
is displayed.
no_empty_cmd_completion
If set, and readline is being used, bash will not attempt to search the PATH
for possible completions when completion is attempted on an empty line.
nocaseglob
If set, bash matches filenames in a case-insensitive fashion when performing
pathname expansion (see Pathname Expansion above).
nocasematch
If set, bash matches patterns in a case-insensitive fashion when performing
matching while executing case or [[ conditional commands.
nullglob
If set, bash allows patterns which match no files (see Pathname Expansion
above) to expand to a null string, rather than themselves.
progcomp
If set, the programmable completion facilities (see Programmable Completion
above) are enabled. This option is enabled by default.
promptvars
If set, prompt strings undergo parameter expansion, command substitution,
arithmetic expansion, and quote removal after being expanded as described in
PROMPTING above. This option is enabled by default.
restricted_shell
The shell sets this option if it is started in restricted mode (see
RESTRICTED SHELL below). The value may not be changed. This is not reset
when the startup files are executed, allowing the startup files to discover
whether or not a shell is restricted.
shift_verbose
If set, the shift builtin prints an error message when the shift count
exceeds the number of positional parameters.
sourcepath
If set, the source (.) builtin uses the value of PATH to find the directory
containing the file supplied as an argument. This option is enabled by
default.
xpg_echo
If set, the echo builtin expands backslash-escape sequences by default.
suspend [-f]
Suspend the execution of this shell until it receives a SIGCONT signal. The -f
option says not to complain if this is a login shell; just suspend anyway. The
return status is 0 unless the shell is a login shell and -f is not supplied, or if
job control is not enabled.
test expr
[ expr ]
Return a status of 0 or 1 depending on the evaluation of the conditional expression
expr. Each operator and operand must be a separate argument. Expressions are com-
posed of the primaries described above under CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS. test does not
accept any options, nor does it accept and ignore an argument of -- as signifying the
end of options.
Expressions may be combined using the following operators, listed in decreasing order
of precedence.
! expr True if expr is false.
( expr )
Returns the value of expr. This may be used to override the normal precedence
of operators.
expr1 -a expr2
True if both expr1 and expr2 are true.
expr1 -o expr2
True if either expr1 or expr2 is true.
test and [ evaluate conditional expressions using a set of rules based on the number
of arguments.
0 arguments
The expression is false.
1 argument
The expression is true if and only if the argument is not null.
2 arguments
If the first argument is !, the expression is true if and only if the second
argument is null. If the first argument is one of the unary conditional oper-
ators listed above under CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS, the expression is true if
the unary test is true. If the first argument is not a valid unary condi-
tional operator, the expression is false.
3 arguments
If the second argument is one of the binary conditional operators listed above
under CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS, the result of the expression is the result of
the binary test using the first and third arguments as operands. If the first
argument is !, the value is the negation of the two-argument test using the
second and third arguments. If the first argument is exactly ( and the third
argument is exactly ), the result is the one-argument test of the second argu-
ment. Otherwise, the expression is false. The -a and -o operators are con-
sidered binary operators in this case.
4 arguments
If the first argument is !, the result is the negation of the three-argument
expression composed of the remaining arguments. Otherwise, the expression is
parsed and evaluated according to precedence using the rules listed above.
5 or more arguments
The expression is parsed and evaluated according to precedence using the rules
listed above.
times Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from
the shell. The return status is 0.
trap [-lp] [[arg] sigspec ...]
The command arg is to be read and executed when the shell receives signal(s) sigspec.
If arg is absent (and there is a single sigspec) or -, each specified signal is reset
to its original disposition (the value it had upon entrance to the shell). If arg is
the null string the signal specified by each sigspec is ignored by the shell and by
the commands it invokes. If arg is not present and -p has been supplied, then the
trap commands associated with each sigspec are displayed. If no arguments are sup-
plied or if only -p is given, trap prints the list of commands associated with each
signal. The -l option causes the shell to print a list of signal names and their
corresponding numbers. Each sigspec is either a signal name defined in <signal.h>,
or a signal number. Signal names are case insensitive and the SIG prefix is
optional. If a sigspec is EXIT (0) the command arg is executed on exit from the
shell. If a sigspec is DEBUG, the command arg is executed before every simple com-
mand, for command, case command, select command, every arithmetic for command, and
before the first command executes in a shell function (see SHELL GRAMMAR above).
Refer to the description of the extdebug option to the shopt builtin for details of
its effect on the DEBUG trap. If a sigspec is ERR, the command arg is executed when-
ever a simple command has a non-zero exit status, subject to the following condi-
tions. The ERR trap is not executed if the failed command is part of the command
list immediately following a while or until keyword, part of the test in an if state-
ment, part of a && or ││ list, or if the command’s return value is being inverted via
!. These are the same conditions obeyed by the errexit option. If a sigspec is
RETURN, the command arg is executed each time a shell function or a script executed
with the . or source builtins finishes executing. Signals ignored upon entry to the
shell cannot be trapped or reset. Trapped signals are reset to their original values
in a child process when it is created. The return status is false if any sigspec is
invalid; otherwise trap returns true.
type [-aftpP] name [name ...]
With no options, indicate how each name would be interpreted if used as a command
name. If the -t option is used, type prints a string which is one of alias, keyword,
function, builtin, or file if name is an alias, shell reserved word, function,
builtin, or disk file, respectively. If the name is not found, then nothing is
printed, and an exit status of false is returned. If the -p option is used, type
either returns the name of the disk file that would be executed if name were speci-
fied as a command name, or nothing if ‘‘type -t name’’ would not return file. The -P
option forces a PATH search for each name, even if ‘‘type -t name’’ would not return
file. If a command is hashed, -p and -P print the hashed value, not necessarily the
file that appears first in PATH. If the -a option is used, type prints all of the
places that contain an executable named name. This includes aliases and functions,
if and only if the -p option is not also used. The table of hashed commands is not
consulted when using -a. The -f option suppresses shell function lookup, as with the
command builtin. type returns true if any of the arguments are found, false if none
are found.
ulimit [-SHacdefilmnpqrstuvx [limit]]
Provides control over the resources available to the shell and to processes started
by it, on systems that allow such control. The -H and -S options specify that the
hard or soft limit is set for the given resource. A hard limit cannot be increased
once it is set; a soft limit may be increased up to the value of the hard limit. If
neither -H nor -S is specified, both the soft and hard limits are set. The value of
limit can be a number in the unit specified for the resource or one of the special
values hard, soft, or unlimited, which stand for the current hard limit, the current
soft limit, and no limit, respectively. If limit is omitted, the current value of
the soft limit of the resource is printed, unless the -H option is given. When more
than one resource is specified, the limit name and unit are printed before the value.
Other options are interpreted as follows:
-a All current limits are reported
-c The maximum size of core files created
-d The maximum size of a process’s data segment
-e The maximum scheduling priority (‘nice’)
-f The maximum size of files created by the shell
-i The maximum number of pending signals
-l The maximum size that may be locked into memory
-m The maximum resident set size
-n The maximum number of open file descriptors (most systems do not allow this
value to be set)
-p The pipe size in 512-byte blocks (this may not be set)
-q The maximum number of bytes in POSIX message queues
-r The maximum rt priority
-s The maximum stack size
-t The maximum amount of cpu time in seconds
-u The maximum number of processes available to a single user
-v The maximum amount of virtual memory available to the shell
-x The maximum number of file locks
If limit is given, it is the new value of the specified resource (the -a option is
display only). If no option is given, then -f is assumed. Values are in 1024-byte
increments, except for -t, which is in seconds, -p, which is in units of 512-byte
blocks, and -n and -u, which are unscaled values. The return status is 0 unless an
invalid option or argument is supplied, or an error occurs while setting a new limit.
umask [-p] [-S] [mode]
The user file-creation mask is set to mode. If mode begins with a digit, it is
interpreted as an octal number; otherwise it is interpreted as a symbolic mode mask
similar to that accepted by chmod(1). If mode is omitted, the current value of the
mask is printed. The -S option causes the mask to be printed in symbolic form; the
default output is an octal number. If the -p option is supplied, and mode is omit-
ted, the output is in a form that may be reused as input. The return status is 0 if
the mode was successfully changed or if no mode argument was supplied, and false oth-
erwise.
unalias [-a] [name ...]
Remove each name from the list of defined aliases. If -a is supplied, all alias def-
initions are removed. The return value is true unless a supplied name is not a
defined alias.
unset [-fv] [name ...]
For each name, remove the corresponding variable or function. If no options are sup-
plied, or the -v option is given, each name refers to a shell variable. Read-only
variables may not be unset. If -f is specified, each name refers to a shell func-
tion, and the function definition is removed. Each unset variable or function is
removed from the environment passed to subsequent commands. If any of RANDOM, SEC-
ONDS, LINENO, HISTCMD, FUNCNAME, GROUPS, or DIRSTACK are unset, they lose their spe-
cial properties, even if they are subsequently reset. The exit status is true unless
a name is readonly.
wait [n ...]
Wait for each specified process and return its termination status. Each n may be a
process ID or a job specification; if a job spec is given, all processes in that
job’s pipeline are waited for. If n is not given, all currently active child pro-
cesses are waited for, and the return status is zero. If n specifies a non-existent
process or job, the return status is 127. Otherwise, the return status is the exit
status of the last process or job waited for.

File info.info, Node Help, Next Help-P, Prev Help-Small-Screen, Up Getting Started
1.2 How to use Info
===================
You are talking to the program Info, for reading documentation.
There are two ways to use Info from within Emacs or as a
stand-alone reader that you can invoke from a shell using the command
`info'.
Right now you are looking at one "Node" of Information. A node
contains text describing a specific topic at a specific level of
detail. This node's topic is "how to use Info". The mode line says
that this is node `Help' in the file `info'.
The top line of a node is its "header". This node's header (look at
it now) says that the `Next' node after this one is the node called
`Help-P'. An advanced Info command lets you go to any node whose name
you know. In the stand-alone Info reader program, the header line
shows the names of this node and the info file as well. In Emacs, the
header line is duplicated in a special typeface, and the duplicate
remains at the top of the window all the time even if you scroll
through the node.
Besides a `Next', a node can have a `Previous' link, or an `Up'
link, or both. As you can see, this node has all of these links.
Now it is time to move on to the `Next' node, named `Help-P'.
>> Type `n' to move there. Type just one character;
do not type the quotes and do not type a <RET> afterward.
`>>' in the margin means it is really time to try a command.
>> If you are in Emacs and have a mouse, and if you already practiced
typing `n' to get to the next node, click now with the middle
mouse button on the `Next' link to do the same "the mouse way".
