关于如何使用括号对表达式进行分组和展开的其他信息: (它列在链接语法括号中)

这里有一些要点:

在子shell中分组命令:() (列表)

将当前shell中的命令分组:{} {列表;｝

Test -返回一个表达式的二进制结果:[[]] [表达式]]

算术扩张 算术展开的格式是: $(表达式)

简单算术求值的格式是: (表达)

组合多个表达式 (表达式) (expr1 && expr2))

我只是想从TLDP中添加这些:

~:$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

~:$ echo ${#SHELL}
9

~:$ ARRAY=(one two three)

~:$ echo ${#ARRAY}
3

~:$ echo ${TEST:-test}
test

~:$ echo $TEST


~:$ export TEST=a_string

~:$ echo ${TEST:-test}
a_string

~:$ echo ${TEST2:-$TEST}
a_string

~:$ echo $TEST2


~:$ echo ${TEST2:=$TEST}
a_string

~:$ echo $TEST2
a_string

~:$ export STRING="thisisaverylongname"

~:$ echo ${STRING:4}
isaverylongname

~:$ echo ${STRING:6:5}
avery

~:$ echo ${ARRAY[*]}
one two one three one four

~:$ echo ${ARRAY[*]#one}
two three four

~:$ echo ${ARRAY[*]#t}
one wo one hree one four

~:$ echo ${ARRAY[*]#t*}
one wo one hree one four

~:$ echo ${ARRAY[*]##t*}
one one one four

~:$ echo $STRING
thisisaverylongname

~:$ echo ${STRING%name}
thisisaverylong

~:$ echo ${STRING/name/string}
thisisaverylongstring

Truncate the contents of a variable

$ var="abcde"; echo ${var%d*}
abc

Make substitutions similar to sed

$ var="abcde"; echo ${var/de/12}
abc12

Use a default value

$ default="hello"; unset var; echo ${var:-$default}
hello

括号、圆括号和大括号的一些常见而方便的用法

如上所述，有时您希望在不丢失返回值的情况下显示消息。这是一个方便的片段:

$ [ -f go.mod ] || { echo 'File not found' && false; }

这不会产生输出，如果文件运行，返回值为0 (true)。Mod在当前目录中存在。测试结果:

$ echo $? 
0

如果文件不存在，你会得到消息，但返回值也为1 (false)，这也可以测试:

$ [ -f fake_file ] || { echo 'File not found'; false; }
File not found

$ echo $?
1

你也可以简单地创建一个函数来检查文件是否存在:

fileexists() { [ -f "$1" ]; }

或者如果文件是可读的(未损坏，有权限等):

canread() { [ -r "$1" ]; }

如果它是一个目录:

isdir() { [ -d "$1" ]; }

或当前用户可写:

canwrite() { [ -w "$1" ]; }

或者如果一个文件存在并且不是空的(就像一个包含内容的日志文件…)

isempty() { [ -s "$1" ]; }

有更多的细节:TLDP

你还可以查看一个程序是否存在并且在路径上可用:

exists () { command -v $1 > /dev/null 2>&1; }

这在脚本中很有用，例如:

# gitit does an autosave commit to the current
# if Git is installed and available.
# If git is not available, it will use brew 
# (on macOS) to install it.
#
# The first argument passed, if any, is used as 
# the commit message; otherwise the default is used.
gitit() {
    $(exists git) && { 
        git add --all; 
        git commit -m "${1:-'GitBot: dev progress autosave'}"; 
        git push; 
    } || brew install git; 
}

test，[和[]之间的区别在BashFAQ中有详细的解释。 (注:链接中有很多例子供比较)

To cut a long story short: test implements the old, portable syntax of the command. In almost all shells (the oldest Bourne shells are the exception), [ is a synonym for test (but requires a final argument of ]). Although all modern shells have built-in implementations of [, there usually still is an external executable of that name, e.g. /bin/[. [[ is a new, improved version of it, and it is a keyword, not a program. This has beneficial effects on the ease of use, as shown below. [[ is understood by KornShell and BASH (e.g. 2.03), but not by the older POSIX or BourneShell.

结论是:

什么时候使用新的测试命令[[，什么时候使用旧的测试命令[? 如果要考虑到POSIX或BourneShell的可移植性/一致性，则应该考虑旧语法 被使用。如果脚本需要BASH、Zsh或KornShell， 新的语法通常更加灵活。

函数定义中的括号

括号()在函数定义中被使用:

function_name () { command1 ; command2 ; }

这就是在命令形参中也必须转义括号的原因:

$ echo (
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

$ echo \(
(

$ echo () { command echo The command echo was redefined. ; }
$ echo anything
The command echo was redefined.
