Brief Introduction
A look at new features in BASH 4.0 that improve the flexibility of the shell.Description
Many classes/course on bash scripting end up focusing other tools like sed, awk …etc.
The intent of this course is to focus on features in BASH 4.0 that may allow you to implement solutions without having to use higher order languages. Python for example. Items of particular interest are Arrays associative and indexed and indirect variable expansion.
Shell arithmetic is also covered.
The course includes a sample script that can generate a bash function backtrace.
