Description
The Korn Shell: A Comprehensive Guide to Unix Scripting The Korn shell is an interactive command and scripting language that has been widely adopted in commercial environments and among inexperienced users. Developed in the mid 1980s, it offers a high-level programming language that can be used as both a user interface and a programming environment. With its unique blend of features from the Bourne and C shells, ksh provides an efficient way to write applications and enhance productivity. The new version, ksh93, adds functionality similar to other scripting languages like awk, icon, Perl, rexx, and tcl. This book is designed to help you master the Korn shell, making it easier to interact with the system and program more effectively. By learning the Korn Shell, you'll gain control over this essential tool and be able to write applications more quickly and easily than with other high-level languages. The authors' approach makes it accessible to readers without prior programming experience, covering basic shell programming and Unix utilities in a way that's easy to understand.
