Download or read book Learning the Korn Shell written by Bill Rosenblatt and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Nutshell Handbook® is a thorough introduction to the Korn shell, both as a user interface and as a programming language.The Korn shell, like the C and Bourne shells, is a program that interprets UNIX commands. It has many features that aren't found in other shells, including command history (the ability to recall and edit previous commands). The Korn shell is also faster; several of its features allow you to write programs that execute more quickly than their Bourne or C shell equivalents.This book provides a clear and concise explanation of the Korn shell's features. It explains ksh string operations, co-processes, signals and signal handling, and one of the worst "dark corners" of shell programming: command-line interpretation. It does this by introducing simple real-life examples and then adding options and complexity in later chapters, illustrating the way real-world script development generally proceeds. An additional (and unique) programming aid, a Korn shell debugger (kshdb), is also included.Learning the Korn Shell is an ideal resource for many UNIX users and programmers, including software developers who want to "prototype" their designs, system administrators who want to write tools for their own use, and even novices who just want to use some of ksh's more advanced interactive features.

Download or read book The New KornShell Command and Programming Language written by Morris I. Bolsky and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 1995 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of the KornShell book is the specification of the revised KornShell language and a reference handbook for ksh, the program that implements the KornShell language. The language has undergone major changes and additions since the first edition. The new features of the language have increased the scope of applications that are suitable for writing in ksh. In addition, command completion and a key binding mechanism have been added to this version of ksh. The tutorial describes both of the functions of ksh: as an interactive command language, and as a programming language. This book is intended for new users with little computer or shell experience, as well as experienced users who are familiar with ksh and/or other shells.
Download or read book Learning the Korn Shell written by Arnold Robbins and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2002-04-23 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Korn shell is an interactive command and scripting language for accessing Unix® and other computer systems. As a complete and high-level programming language in itself, it's been a favorite since it was developed in the mid 1980s by David G. Korn at AT&T Bell Laboratories. Knowing how to use it is an essential skill for serious Unix users. Learning the Korn Shell shows you how to use the Korn shell as a user interface and as a programming environment.Writing applications is often easier and quicker with Korn than with other high-level languages. Because of this, the Korn shell is the most often used shell in commercial environments and among inexperienced users. There are two other widely used shells, the Bourne shell and the C shell. The Korn shell, or ksh, has the best features of both, plus many new features of its own. ksh can do much to enhance productivity and the quality of a user's work, both in interacting with the system, and in programming. The new version, ksh93, has the functionality of other scripting languages such as awk, icon, Perl, rexx, and tcl.Learning the Korn Shell is the key to gaining control of the Korn shell and becoming adept at using it as an interactive command and scripting language. Prior programming experience is not required in order to understand the chapters on basic shell programming. Readers will learn how to write many applications more easily and quickly than with other high-level languages. In addition, readers will also learn about Unix utilities and the way the Unix operating system works in general. The authors maintain that you shouldn't have to be an internals expert to use and program the shell effectively.The second edition covers all the features of the current version of the Korn shell, including many new features not in earlier versions of ksh93, making it the most up-to-date reference available on the Korn shell. It compares the current version of the Korn shell to several other Bourne-compatible shells, including several Unix emulation environments for MS-DOS and Windows. In addition, it describes how to download and build ksh93 from source code.A solid offering for many years, this newly revised title inherits a long tradition of trust among computer professionals who want to learn or refine an essential skill.
