  2. Bash (Unix shell) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell)

    The Bash command-line completion system is very flexible and customizable, and is often packaged with functions that complete arguments and filenames for specific programs and tasks. Bash's syntax has many extensions lacking in the Bourne shell. Bash can perform integer calculations ("arithmetic evaluation") without spawning external processes.

  3. Shell script - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_script

    One example of this is Bash, which offers the same grammar and syntax as the Bourne shell, and which also provides a POSIX-compliant mode. [13] As such, most shell scripts written for the Bourne shell can be run in BASH, but the reverse may not be true since BASH has extensions which are not present in the Bourne shell.

  4. Command-line interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface

    The getopt function and program, and the getopts command are usually used for parsing command-line options. Unix command names, arguments and options are case-sensitive (except in a few examples, mainly where popular commands from other operating systems have been ported to Unix).

  5. glob (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)

    The original Mozilla proxy auto-config implementation, which provides a glob-matching function on strings, uses a replace-as-RegExp implementation as above. The bracket syntax happens to be covered by regex in such an example. Python's fnmatch uses a more elaborate procedure to transform the pattern into a regular expression. [17]

  6. Unix shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_shell

    The "rc" suffix on some Unix configuration files (for example, ".vimrc"), is a remnant of the RUNCOM ancestry of Unix shells. [ 1 ] [ 4 ] The PWB shell or Mashey shell, sh , was an upward-compatible version of the Thompson shell, augmented by John Mashey and others and distributed with the Programmer's Workbench UNIX , circa 1975–1977.

  7. Shell builtin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_builtin

    Therefore, shell builtins are usually used for simple, almost trivial, functions, such as text output. Because of the nature of some operating systems, some functions of the systems must necessarily be implemented as shell builtins. The most notable example is the cd command, which changes the working directory of the shell.

  8. Comparison of command shells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_command_shells

    Bash, zsh, and fish have completion for all variable names. PowerShell has completions for environment variable names, shell variable names and — from within user-defined functions — parameter names. Command argument completion is the completion of a specific command's arguments.

  9. pushd and popd - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushd_and_popd

    The directory stack underlies the functions of these two commands. It is an array of paths stored as an environment variable in the CLI, which can be viewed using the command dirs in Unix or Get-Location -stack in PowerShell. The current working directory is always at the top of the stack.
