If Without a numeric argument, the value of the readline. defined in a function are not available until after that If parameter is @ or *, the substitution operation is applied to each positional parameter in turn, and the expansion is the resultant list. accessed is selected. If parameter is null or unset, the expansion of word (or a message to that effect if word is not present) is written to the standard error and the shell, if it is not interactive, exits. Each word is then expanded using Each non-option argument is a command as it would appear in .inputrc, but each binding or command must be passed as a separate argument; e.g., '"\C-x\C-r": re-read-init-file'. -B: The shell performs brace expansion (see "Brace Expansion" above). When integers are supplied, the expression expands to each number between x and y, inclusive. On or > output initial environment, whose values may be modified in the shell, To nest when using the backquoted form, command below. ENV, expands its value if it is defined, and uses the name and The special pattern characters must be quoted if they are to be matched literally. This variable exists only when a shell function is executing. The format for a pipeline is: [time [-p]] [ ! ] When the coproc is executed, the shell creates an array variable (see the "Arrays" section below) named NAME in the context of the executing shell. If there exists a shell function by that name, that are enabled, non-zero otherwise. The options can also be specified as arguments to an invocation of the shell. given in The command currently being executed or about to be executed, unless the If bash is waiting for a command to complete and receives a signal for which a trap has been set, the trap will not be executed until the command completes. bindings and variable settings to be performed as the result If set to a number greater than zero, the value is used as the number of trailing directory components to retain when expanding the \w and \W prompt string escapes (see the section "Prompting" below). Attributes may be All tokens in the expression undergo parameter expansion, string expansion, command substitution, and quote removal. positional parameters and the special parameter If IFS is unset, or its value is exactly , the default, then sequences of , , and at the beginning and end of the results of the previous expansions are ignored, and any sequence of IFS characters not at the beginning or end serves to delimit words. Note that both x and y must be of the same type. successful, and non-zero (false) if an error occurs In the macro body, the backslash escapes described above are expanded. SHELLOPTS variable, if it appears in the environment, is ignored, The options are off by default unless otherwise noted. A readonly array variable whose members hold version information for this instance of bash. functions, shell builtins, and finally executable filenames, The value of parameter is then substituted. If -a is supplied, the shell passes name as the zeroth argument to the executed command. See also the exit builtin If a required argument is not found, and getopts is not silent, a question mark (?) posix Change the behavior of bash where the default operation differs from the POSIX standard to match the standard (posix mode). Redirection may also be used to open and close files for the current shell execution environment. -e option is supplied, the return value is the value of the last Stopped jobs are sent SIGCONT to ensure that they receive the SIGHUP. On startup, the history is initialized from the file named by This is analogous to the expansion The bottom-most element (the one with the highest index) is "main". The filter is a pattern as used for pathname expansion; a & an entire key sequence may be specified by placing the sequence expressed on the right hand side (that is, to insert the text The GLOBIGNORE shell variable may be used to restrict the set of file names matching a pattern.

That's what happens alias declares a aliases/shortcuts for bash commands. If a command is terminated by the control operator Change the behavior of bash where the default operation differs from the POSIX standard to match the standard. When set to On, readline will try to enable any meta modifier key the terminal claims to support when it is called. %+ refer to the shell’s notion of the with the value of each parameter separated by the first character Bash versions before bash-4.1 use ASCII collation and strcmp; bash-4.1 and later use the current locale's collation sequence and strcoll.

Backslash may be used to escape a newline, if necessary. This variable, when set to On, causes readline to match files whose names begin with a '.' Expands to the exit status of the most recently executed foreground pipeline. The If a second attempt to exit is made without an intervening command, the shell does not print another warning, and any stopped jobs are terminated. +n Removes the nth entry counting from the left of the list shown by dirs, starting with zero. The options appearing in SHELLOPTS are those reported as on by set -o. If set, patterns which fail to match filenames during pathname expansion a fashion similar to, This command, as seen in the previous example, terminates an, This directive takes a single filename as an argument and reads commands The value of this parameter is expanded (see, The value of this parameter is expanded as with, The value of this parameter is used as the prompt for the. same collation weight (as defined by the current locale) as Display version information about the current instance of bash. necessary, by removing the oldest entries, -r: The maximum real-time scheduling priority. leader. Print the directory stack with one entry per line. If a sigspec is EXIT (0) the command arg is executed on exit from the shell. True if file exists and its "sticky" bit is set. This may be used to If the line is a modified history line, then restore the history line to its original state. A single % (with no accompanying job specification) also refers to the bash is invoked with the name If the characters following the tilde in the tilde-prefix consist of a number N, optionally prefixed by a '+' or a '-', the tilde-prefix is replaced with the corresponding element from the directory stack, as it would be displayed by the dirs builtin invoked with the tilde-prefix as an argument. Arithmetic expansion allows the evaluation of an arithmetic expression +, and the previous job with a If parameter is @ or *, the case modification operation is applied to each positional parameter in turn, and the expansion is the resultant list. set builtin command (see -r option reverses the order of parameters that have no values, are removed. complete [-abcdefgjksuv] [-o comp-option] [-DE] [-A action] [-G globpat] [-W wordlist] [-F function] [-C command] [-X filterpat] [-P prefix] [-S suffix] name [name ...]. If a correction is found, the corrected file name is printed, and the command proceeds. The -P option forces a PATH search for each name, even if "type -t name" would not return file. Resume the next iteration of the enclosing for, while, until, or select loop. If no options are supplied, or the -v option is given, each name refers to a shell variable. When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc, if these files exist. May also be specified as -c.directory: Directory names. On many terminals, the meta key is used to send eight-bit characters. This option is on by default when the shell is interactive. of the last process in the pipeline associated with this job is 25647. If HISTCMD is unset, it loses its special properties, even if it is subsequently reset. The -f option will restrict the display to shell functions. command to exit with a non-zero status. and typeahead to be discarded. screen. appended to the history file since the beginning of the Unless otherwise noted, each builtin command documented in this section as accepting options preceded by - accepts -- to signify the end of the options. When the The process of applying these completion specifications when word completion is attempted is described above under the section "Programmable Completion.". When a login shell exits, may be specified by separating the file name from the message with a ‘?’. Except where noted, readline variables can take the values On or Off (without regard to case). The replacement text may contain any valid shell input, including shell metacharacters. If the sourcepath option to the shopt builtin command is turned off, the PATH is not searched. effective only when job control is enabled. history file’s contents. If a any other output. If pattern begins with %, it must match at the end of the expanded value of parameter. The return status is 0 unless local is used outside a function, an invalid name is supplied, or name is a readonly variable. The default value is 500. generate no matches. If the shell option The name of the file in which command history is saved (see the section "History" below). This variable overrides the value of LANG and any other LC_ variable specifying a locale category. This is a non-incremental search. If the digits in word do not specify a file descriptor open for input, a redirection error occurs. Undo all changes made to this line. The symbols Blank lines are ignored. In the first form, a range of commands from, Display helpful information about builtin commands. Run command with args suppressing the normal shell function lookup. universal-argument. The aname is unset before any new values are assigned. A This variable is readonly. A positional parameter is a parameter denoted by one or more digits, other than the single digit 0. 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. with, An array variable containing all of the parameters in the current bash If used with ':s', any delimiter can be used in place of /, and the final delimiter is optional if it is the last character of the event line. If any words remain after expansion, the first word Brace expansion introduces a slight incompatibility with bash will not accept any of its option. The -c option causes command to be executed with an empty environment. If a numeric argument is supplied, the output is formatted in such a way that it can be made part of an inputrc file. - Signal the end of options, cause all remaining args to be assigned to the positional parameters. Each time this parameter is referenced, the shell substitutes a decimal number representing the current sequential line number (starting with 1) within a script or function. which, unless caught, suspends the process. n is not specified, the standard output (file descriptor 1) is used. With a negative argument, is enabled, If LINENO is unset, it loses its special properties, even if it is subsequently reset. -r: Read the contents of the history file and use them as the current history. Readonly variables may not be unset. When not in a script or function, the value substituted is not guaranteed to be meaningful. The corresponding argument is an integer representing the number of seconds since the epoch. 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. is not considered eligible for brace expansion. If If the ;; operator is used, no subsequent matches are attempted after the first pattern match. Otherwise, the positional parameters are set to the args, even if some of them begin with a -. Some common groups of bash operators are arithmetic operators, comparison operators, bit-wise operators, logical operators, string operators, and file operators. This is a non-incremental search. When the -f or -d option is used for filename or directory name completion, the shell variable FIGNORE is used to filter the matches. The key (or final key of a key sequence) used to invoke the current completion function. The current cursor position is set to negates the pattern; in this case any completion not matching the pattern will be removed. Remove a trailing file name component, leaving only the head. Bash attempts to determine when it is being run with its standard input connected to a network connection, as when executed by the remote shell daemon, usually rshd, or the secure shell daemon sshd. A failure to open or create a file causes the redirection to fail. word to be opened for both reading and writing on file descriptor If length is omitted, expands to the substring of parameter starting at the character specified by offset.

Refer to the previous command. to a string that is inserted when the key is pressed (a macro). If no jobspec is present, and neither the -a nor the -r option is supplied, the current job is used. The if list is executed. All of the single-character shell options documented in the description of the set builtin command can be used as options when invoking bash. This changes the contents of the readline editing buffer. nocaseglob: If set, bash matches filenames in a case-insensitive fashion when performing pathname expansion (see "Pathname Expansion" above). In output pertaining to jobs (e.g., the output of the jobs command), the current job is always flagged with a +, and the previous job with a -. If set to On, readline displays completions with matches sorted horizontally in alphabetical order, rather than down the screen. All arguments in the form of assignment statements Swap the point with the mark. If subscript is * or In the second form, "keyseq":function-name or macro, keyseq differs from keyname above in that strings denoting an entire key sequence may be specified by placing the sequence within double quotes. $, ‘, ", command substitution, arithmetic expansion, and quote Cause changes to be applied over the entire event line. The following is a list of the names of the commands and the default When it is time to check for mail, the shell does so before displaying the primary prompt. inside the parentheses is not treated specially. a unit. If a command is not found, the child process created to It is not an error to use * if there is just one word in the event; the empty string is returned in that case. Bash removes braces from words as a consequence of brace When given a numeric argument, Accept the current line for execution and fetch the next line set to, This alters the default behavior of the completion functions in Invoke an editor on the current command line, and execute the result as shell expand_aliases: If set, aliases are expanded as described above under ALIASES. function is executed. suspend character (typically $- includes created for export to the environment of subsequent commands. uppercase the previous word, but do not move point. The file names "." the search and execute that command. Any numeric argument supplied to these successive calls determines the direction to move through the history. This variable is readonly. The element with index n is the portion of the string matching the nth parenthesized subexpression. If offset evaluates to a number less than zero, the value is used as an offset from the end of the value of parameter. If the tilde-prefix is a ‘~+’, the value of the shell variable non-zero on failure. default: Use readline's default filename completion if the compspec generates no matches. promptvars: If set, prompt strings undergo parameter expansion, command substitution, arithmetic expansion, and quote removal after being expanded as described in "Prompting" above. This is the behavior of posix mode through version 4.1. The backslash character (\) may be used to remove any special meaning for the next character read and for line continuation. If the file does not exist, it is created. With an explicit positive numeric argument, The HISTCONTROL and HISTIGNORE variables may be set to cause the shell to save only a subset of the commands entered. Background processes are those whose process group ID differs from the terminal’s; and cd .act as expected, so they list and “change” to the current directory, respectively, although including the dot in these two cases is not necessary. The table of hashed commands is not consulted when using -a. The process of applying these completion specifications when word completion Conditional expressions are used by the [[ compound command and the test and [ builtin commands to test file attributes and perform string and arithmetic comparisons. both x and y must be of the same type. This makes ESC the meta prefix. Other builtins that accept arguments but are not specified as accepting options interpret arguments beginning with - as invalid options and require -- to prevent this interpretation. Chet Ramey, Case Western Reserve University Arguments, if supplied, have the following meanings: Suppresses the normal change of directory when adding directories The syntax is like alias alias_name="command_to_run"; cd is the alias name and the same like the change directory command; rm -rf is the command to run. If the -b option to the set builtin command is enabled, bash reports such changes immediately. Each arg is an arithmetic expression to be evaluated (see the section "Arithmetic Evaluation" above). bash and traditional versions of This means that one may alias ls to ls -F, for instance, and bash does not try to recursively expand the replacement text. allowing a shell script or a startup file to test this state. If the substring matches more than one job, bash reports an error. A value of 0 causes no decimal point or fraction to be output. do not accept options. Indexed arrays are referenced using integers (including arithmetic expressions) and are zero-based; associative arrays are referenced using arbitrary strings. Redirection of output in this fashion The, The maximum size of a process’s data segment, The maximum size of files written by the shell and its children, The maximum size that may be locked into memory, The maximum resident set size (has no effect on Linux), The maximum number of open file descriptors (most systems do not a sequence expression between a pair of braces, followed by Read commands but do not execute them. A character that, when unquoted, separates words. The words that the parser has marked as variable assignments (those The Comments and bug reports concerning Fetch the next command from the history list, moving forward in the list. inputrc file with a statement of the form. HISTORY below), while the command number is the position in the sequence for processes run from the shell. When checking mail, this parameter holds the name of the mail file currently being checked. The return status is 0 unless no command matches pattern. If the first argument is !, the value is the negation of the two-argument test using the second and third arguments. In these cases, tilde expansion is also performed. When a function completes, the values of the positional parameters and the special parameter # are restored to the values they had before the function's execution. The commands following the alias definition -p: Perform history substitution on the following args and display the result on the standard output. Passing a negative argument to a command that acts in the forward If this parameter is set when bash is executing a shell script, its value is interpreted as a filename containing commands to initialize the shell, as in ~/.bashrc. and may be reassigned using the alias in compound commands. %ce refers to a stopped the text against lines from the history list for possible SIGTTIN (SIGTTOU) signal by the terminal driver, The word is expanded and supplied to the command on its standard When the command history expansion facilities are being used (see the "History Expansion" section below), the history expansion character, usually !, must be quoted to prevent history expansion. ! Set the mark to the point. When set to On, on operating systems that indicate they support it, readline echoes a character corresponding to a signal generated from the keyboard. directs only the standard output to file dirlist, because the standard error was duplicated from the standard output before the standard output was redirected to dirlist. For example, The directory variable contains: "/home/sureshkumar/test/" if [ -d $directory ] This condition will be true only when a directory exists. compgen builtin described below, to generate the matches. Redirections using file descriptors greater than 9 should be used with care, as they may conflict with file descriptors the shell uses internally. matches were generated. even though the shell normally searches for builtins before disk commands. There are a number of ways to refer to a job in the shell. declare -a name (see 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). Commands in this branch of the $if directive are executed if the test fails. jobs command may then be used to inspect their status. The position of the insertion point in the readline line buffer, for use with "bind -x" (see the section "Shell Builtin Commands" below). If the command run by the DEBUG trap returns a non-zero value, the next command is skipped and not executed. The set of valid keymap names is, This alters the default behavior of the completion functions. To get the old behavior of ignoring file names beginning with a A trailing space in value causes the next word to be checked for alias substitution when the alias is expanded. The TIMEFORMAT variable may be set to a format string that specifies how the timing information should be displayed; see the description of TIMEFORMAT in the "Shell Variables" section below for details. 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. After the string is decoded, it is expanded via When executing interactively, bash displays the primary prompt PS1 when it is ready to read a command, and the secondary prompt PS2 when it needs more input to complete a command. If this variable has not been given a value, the characters, Set the current readline keymap. An argument of n moves n positions forward in the list of matches; a negative argument may be used to move backward through the list. Automatically mark variables and functions which are modified or && and Before exiting, an interactive shell resends the SIGHUP to all jobs, running or stopped. A sequence of Words are composed of alphanumeric characters (letters and digits). When used in the text of the message, $_ expands to the name of the current mailfile. For example: Control-u: universal-argument Next, any command specified with the -C option is invoked in an environment equivalent to command substitution. As a consequence, aliases defined in a function are not available until after that function is executed. Backticks, [] tests, and evals are not parsed so some readline is being used, history substitutions are not immediately passed to If any of COMP_WORDBREAKS, RANDOM, SECONDS, LINENO, HISTCMD, FUNCNAME, GROUPS, or DIRSTACK are unset, they lose their special properties, even if they are subsequently reset. As a special case, if n is omitted, and word does not expand to one or more digits, the standard output and standard error are redirected as described previously. Any part of the pattern may be quoted to force it to be matched as a string. jobs replaces any entered. Toggle overwrite mode. return is executed in a function, the function completes and Note that the order of redirections is significant. The following options are also available: If the -c option is present, then commands are read from string. where x and y are either integers or single characters. Next, any command specified with the -C option is invoked If the first character of Show version information for this instance of, A sequence of characters considered as a single unit by the shell. set builtin command (see Its behavior may be slightly different from shell to shell. Otherwise, the value of parameter is substituted. Some commands group other commands into blocks or test their result. Matches any string, including the null string. Many Linux commands accept a file as a parameter and take their data from that file. The shell scans the results of <(list) Each of the metacharacters listed above under the "Definitions" section has special meaning to the shell and must be quoted if it is to represent itself. If EOF is read, the command completes. an extended regular expression and matched accordingly (as in regex(3)). The shell sets BASH_ARGC only when in extended debugging mode (see the description of the extdebug option to the shopt builtin below), An array variable containing all of the parameters in the current bash execution call stack. When invoked as an interactive shell with the name EXPANSION below). Without options, each jobspec is removed from the table of active jobs. These processes are said to be in the foreground. This allows easy re-editing of multi-line commands. When not in posix mode, bash clears the -e option in such subshells. google_color_text="000000"; Names matching prefix. The following is a list of the names of the commands and the default key sequences to which they are bound.
