BASH Guide contains everything you need to know about Bash scripting, whether you are diving in for the first time, or are a seasoned pro.
No matter if you use Linux, Unix, Mac, Cygwin on Windows, or are preparing to run Bash natively on Windows 10, shells, scripting, automation, and command-line problem solving is a fact of life. Though BASH Guide is focused on the Bourne-again shell (BASH), the concepts presented can be applied to virtually any shell, including Bourne (sh), Korn (ksc), C (csh), Z (zsh), and the tee-shell (tsch).
For those just beginning, by the end of this book you will be able to write shell scripts and automate tasks with ease. If you are transitioning from another programming language, this guide will build on your existing knowledge and turn you into an expert in no time. For those with experience in Bash scripting, the latter chapters will hone your expertise while presenting advanced concepts such as file descriptor duplication, process substitution, traps, and more.
With chapters covering everything from what a shell is (and isn’t) to how to trap and process signals, the full gamut of Bash scripting is covered. With both a quick reference and detailed index included at the end, the BASH Guide ensures all the commands, concepts, and syntax you learned are available at a moment’s notice.
BASH Guide’s chapters, each of which contains its own host of sections, makes certain that no topic is left behind.

Threads of Fate is the tale of Selene, a naïve village girl with the inborn ability to Weave, who struggles to heal her heart and the soul of a nation after witnessing her mother’s brutal murder.
Living at the outskirts of a remote village, Selene has grown up with one constant: her mother. One day, a distant king intrudes and shatters Selene’s dreams of following in her mother’s footsteps as a healer. Before long, being sold into slavery is the least of her concerns as she clashes against a king who has spent two decades consolidating his power and purging all who defy him. Uniting a group of unlikely allies, Selene metes out justice to the king and heals more than her heart.

Shadowborn is the tale of Aeryn, a street girl poised on the knife’s edge of death, whose innate ability to Drift and meld with the shadows draws the attention of a powerful Lord who seeks to use her to bring down a thousand year old god.
Relying time and again on her wolfish pet Jynx and her ability to Drift and become a Shadow, Aeryn has been able to eke out a living as a street urchin where countless others have perished. A fateful run-in with a powerful and enigmatic Lord sends her life spiraling out of control. In over her head and leagues from the familiar, meager life she once knew, all Aeryn can do is struggle to ride the currents of a city overflowing with cutthroats, soldiers, scheming nobles, and Nameless, a thousand year old god and his legions of power-hungry Shades and Voices. Trusting in her mantra to “move forward,” Aeryn soon finds herself challenging a god and changing the fate of the nation.
