Pasring Shell script Arguments

Internal Variables ==> official doc, all reserved variables ==> attention to "positional parameters"

https://www.baeldung.com/linux/use-command-line-arguments-in-bash-script

• declare/initialize:
  • var_name = value
    • no explicit type declaration
    • all capitals by convention
      • lower case words and phrases are usually used for commands
  • var_name = $(some command)
    • take the result from some command and assign to var_name
• refer: echo $var_name
  • echo var_name ==> print "var_name"

• Interactive:
  • read var_name
• get stdin:
  • /dev/stdin
  • use the file to get access to stdin; use with pipeline "|"
• shell script calling arguments:
  •  see the positional parameters, usually $0 for the commands_interpretor/script_name, and $1+ for the arguments 
• redirecting: Input Output Redirection in Linux/Unix Examples
  • >/< for output/input redirecting
    • >> for "append to destination" instead of overwritting as > would

• get current running script location:

  • #!/bin/bash 
    # Absolute path to this script, e.g. /home/user/bin/foo.sh
    script=$(readlink -f "$0")
    # Absolute path this script is in, thus /home/user/bin
    scriptPATH=$(dirname "$script")
    echo $scriptPATH

•  source vs. ./execute https://blog.csdn.net/maxzcl/article/details/122139734 
  • source operate within the current shell, while ./script will open a new sub_shell
  • !!!! the variables defined and modified (particularly those exported to system or modified systems variables) in script would only be available after termination when using "source" !!!!
  • and sometimes ./ is more portable, since its meaning is unmistakably simple.
