Advanced Bash−Scripting Guide Danger is near thee −− Beware, beware, beware, beware. Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep. So beware −− Beware. A.J. Lamb and H.W. Petrie Chapter 32. Gotchas 332
Chapter 33. Scripting With Style Get into the habit of writing shell scripts in a structured and systematic manner. Even "on−the−fly" and "written on the back of an envelope" scripts will benefit if you take a few minutes to plan and organize your thoughts before sitting down and coding. Herewith are a few stylistic guidelines. This is not intended as an Official Shell Scripting Stylesheet. 33.1. Unofficial Shell Scripting Stylesheet • Comment your code. This makes it easier for others to understand (and appreciate), and easier for you to maintain. PASS="$PASS${MATRIX:$(($RANDOM%${#MATRIX})):1}" # It made perfect sense when you wrote it last year, but now it's a complete mystery. # (From Antek Sawicki's "pw.sh" script.) Add descriptive headers to your scripts and functions. #!/bin/bash #************************************************# # xyz.sh # # written by Bozo Bozeman # # July 05, 2001 # # # # Clean up project files. # #************************************************# BADDIR=65 # No such directory. projectdir=/home/bozo/projects # Directory to clean up. # −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− # # cleanup_pfiles () # # Removes all files in designated directory. # # Parameter: $target_directory # # Returns: 0 on success, $BADDIR if something went wrong. # # −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− # cleanup_pfiles () { if [ ! −d "$1" ] # Test if target directory exists. then echo "$1 is not a directory." return $BADDIR fi } rm −f "$1"/* return 0 # Success. cleanup_pfiles $projectdir exit 0 Be sure to put the #!/bin/bash at the beginning of the first line of the script, preceding any comment headers. • Avoid using "magic numbers", [63] that is, "hard−wired" literal constants. Use meaningful variable Chapter 33. Scripting With Style 333
