This is GNU Bash, version 1.14. Bash is the GNU Project's Bourne
|
||
|
|
Again SHell, an interactive shell with Bourne shell syntax (/bin/sh);
|
||
|
|
but also with interactive command line editing, job control on
|
||
|
|
architectures that support it, Csh-like history features and brace
|
||
|
|
expansion, and a slew of other stuff. For more information on the
|
||
|
|
features of Bash that are new to this type of shell, see the file
|
||
|
|
`documentation/features.texi'. There is also a DVI file there, as
|
||
|
|
well as a large man page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To compile it, try typing `make'. Bash auto-configures the build
|
||
|
|
process, so no intervention should be necessary. If you want to
|
||
|
|
use gcc, type `make CC=gcc CPPNAME='$(CC) -E''.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may want to read the file INSTALL in this directory for more
|
||
|
|
information if the make fails.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are a csh user and wish to convert your csh aliases to Bash
|
||
|
|
aliases, you may wish to use the script in examples/alias-conv.sh
|
||
|
|
as a starting point.
|
||
|

Bug reports for 1.14 should be sent to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
bug-bash@prep.ai.mit.edu
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
using the `bashbug' program that is built and installed at the same
|
||
|
|
time as bash.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The discussion list "bug-bash@prep.ai.mit.edu" often contains information
|
||
|
|
about new ports of Bash, or discussions of new features or behavior
|
||
|
|
changes that people would like. This mailing list is also available
|
||
|
|
as a usenet newsgroup: gnu.bash.bug.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you send a bug report to bash-maintainers@prep.ai.mit.edu, please
|
||
|
|
include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the version number of Bash
|
||
|
|
* the machine and OS that it is running on (see .machine or .made)
|
||
|
|
* a description of the bug
|
||
|
|
* a recipe for recreating the bug reliably
|
||
|
|
* a fix for the bug if you have one!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `bashbug' program includes much of this automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While the Bash maintainers do not promise to fix all bugs, we would
|
||
|
|
like this shell to be the best that we can make it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enjoy!
