title="Permanent link">¶</a></h1> <p>Bash builds its features on top of a few basic <strong>grammar rules</strong>. The code you see everywhere, the code you use, is based on those rules. However, <strong>this is a very theoretical view</strong>, but if you're interested, it may help you understand why things look the way they look.</p> <p>If you don't know the commands used in the following examples, just trust the explanation.</p> <h2 id=simple-commands>Simple Commands<a class=headerlink href=#simple-commands title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>Bash manual says:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>A simple command is a sequence of optional variable assignments followed by blank-separated words and redirections,
|
|
and terminated by a control operator. The first word specifies the command to be executed, and is passed as argument
|
|
zero. The remaining words are passed as arguments to the invoked command.
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>Sounds harder than it actually is. It is what you do daily. You enter simple commands with parameters, and the shell executes them.</p> <p>Every complex Bash operation can be split into simple commands:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>ls
|
|
ls > list.txt
|
|
ls -l
|
|
LC_ALL=C ls
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>The last one might not be familiar. That one simply adds "<code>LC_ALL=C</code>" to the environment of the <code>ls</code> program. It doesn't affect your current shell. This also works while calling functions, unless Bash runs in POSIX® mode (in which case it affects your current shell).</p> <p>Every command has an exit code. It's a type of return status. The shell can catch it and act on it. Exit code range is from 0 to 255, where 0 means success, and the rest mean either something failed, or there is an issue to report back to the calling program.</p> <div class="admonition info"> <p class=admonition-title>info</p> <p>The simple command construct is the <strong>base</strong> for all higher constructs. Everything you execute, from pipelines to functions, finally ends up in (many) simple commands. That's why Bash only has one method to <a href=../grammar/parser_exec/ >expand and execute a simple command</a>.</p> </div> <h2 id=pipelines>Pipelines<a class=headerlink href=#pipelines title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <div class="admonition warning"> <p class=admonition-title>FIXME</p> <p>Missing an additional article about pipelines and pipelining</p> </div> <p><code>[time [-p]] [ ! ] command [ | command2 ... ]</code></p> <p><strong>Don't get confused</strong> about the name "pipeline." It's a grammatic name for a construct. Such a pipeline isn't necessarily a pair of commands where stdout/stdin is connected via a real pipe.</p> <p>Pipelines are one or more <a href=#simple-commands>simple commands</a> (separated by the <code>|</code> symbol connects their input and output), for example:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>ls /etc | wc -l
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>will execute <code>ls</code> on <code>/etc</code> and <strong>pipe</strong> the output to <code>wc</code>, which will count the lines generated by the ls command. The result is the number of directory entries in /etc.</p> <p>The last command in the pipeline will set the exit code for the pipeline. This exit code can be "inverted" by prefixing an exclamation mark to the pipeline: An unsuccessful pipeline will exit "successful" and vice versa. In this example, the commands in the if stanza will be executed if the pattern "^root:" is <strong>not</strong> found in <code>/etc/passwd</code>:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>if ! grep '^root:' /etc/passwd; then
|
|
echo "No root user defined... eh?"
|
|
fi
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>Yes, this is also a pipeline (although there is no pipe!), because the <strong>exclamation mark to invert the exit code</strong> can only be used in a pipeline. If <code>grep</code>'s exit code is 1 (FALSE) (the text was not found), the leading <code>!</code> will "invert" the exit code, and the shell sees (and acts on) exit code 0 (TRUE) and the <code>then</code> part of the <code>if</code> stanza is executed. One could say we checked for "<code>not grep "^root" /etc/passwd</code>".</p> <p>The <a href=../../commands/builtin/set/#attributes>set option pipefail</a> determines the behavior of how bash reports the exit code of a pipeline. If it's set, then the exit code (<code>$?</code>) is the last command that exits with non zero status, if none fail, it's zero. If it's not set, then <code>$?</code> always holds the exit code of the last command (as explained above).</p> <p>The shell option <code>lastpipe</code> will execute the last element in a pipeline construct in the current shell environment, i.e. not a subshell.</p> <p>There's also an array <code>PIPESTATUS[]</code> that is set after a foreground pipeline is executed. Each element of <code>PIPESTATUS[]</code> reports the exit code of the respective command in the pipeline. Note: (1) it's only for foreground pipe and (2) for higher level structure that is built up from a pipeline. Like list, <code>PIPESTATUS[]</code> holds the exit status of the last pipeline command executed.</p> <p>Another thing you can do with pipelines is log their execution time. Note that <strong><code>time</code> is not a command</strong>, it is part of the pipeline syntax:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code># time updatedb
|
|
real 3m21.288s
|
|
user 0m3.114s

When the function runs, it has its own "private" set of positional parameters and I/O descriptors. It acts like a script-within-the-script. Simply stated: <strong>You've created a new command.</strong></p> <p>The definition is easy (one of many possibilities):</p> <p><code><NAME> () <COMPOUND_COMMAND> <REDIRECTIONS></code></p> <p>which is usually used with the <code>{...; }</code> compound command, and thus looks like:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>print_help() { echo "Sorry, no help available"; }
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>As above, a function definition can have any <a href=#compound_commands>compound command</a> as a body. Structures like</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>countme() for ((x=1;x<=9;x++)); do echo $x; done
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>are unusual, but perfectly valid, since the for loop construct is a compound command!</p> <p>If <strong>redirection</strong> is specified, the redirection is not performed when the function is defined. It is performed when the function runs:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code># this will NOT perform the redirection (at definition time)
|
|
f() { echo ok ; } > file
|
|
|
|
# NOW the redirection will be performed (during EXECUTION of the function)
|
|
f
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>Bash allows three equivalent forms of the function definition:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>NAME () <COMPOUND_COMMAND> <REDIRECTIONS>
|
|
function NAME () <COMPOUND_COMMAND> <REDIRECTIONS>
|
|
function NAME <COMPOUND_COMMAND> <REDIRECTIONS>
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>The space between <code>NAME</code> and <code>()</code> is optional, usually you see it without the space.</p> <p>I suggest using the first form. It's specified in POSIX and all Bourne-like shells seem to support it.</p> <p><u><strong>Note:</strong></u> Before version <code>2.05-alpha1</code>, Bash only recognized the definition using curly braces (<code>name() { ... }</code>), other shells allow the definition using <strong>any</strong> command (not just the compound command set).</p> <p>To execute a function like a regular shell script you put it together like this:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>#!/bin/bash
|
|
# Add shebang
|
|
|
|
mycmd()
|
|
{
|
|
# this $1 belongs to the function!
|
|
find / -iname "$1"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# this $1 belongs the script itself!
|
|
mycmd "$1" # Execute command immediately after defining function
|
|
|
|
exit 0
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p><strong>Just informational(1):</strong></p> <p>Internally, for forking, Bash stores function definitions in environment variables. Variables with the content "<em>() ....</em>".</p> <p>Something similar to the following works without "officially" declaring a function:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>$ export testfn="() { echo test; }"
|
|
$ bash -c testfn
|
|
test
|
|
$
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p><strong>Just informational(2):</strong></p> <p>It is possible to create function names containing slashes:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>/bin/ls() {
|
|
echo LS FAKE
|
|
}
|
|
</code></pre></div> <p>The elements of this name aren't subject to a path search.</p> <p>Weird function names should not be used. Quote from the maintainer:</p> <ul> <li> <ul> <li>It was a mistake to allow such characters in function names (<code>unset</code> doesn't work to unset them without forcing <code>-f</code>, for instance).
