Summary
There’s more to the shell than I have described in this chapter. It is only intended to explain some of the commands and concepts used in this book’s scripts, not be a tutorial on how to write shell scripts. Throughout the book, the scripts are commented to describe what is going on, but they do not always explain the syntax itself. This chapter has provided those explanations.
