今天这个脚本其实很简单,但很实用,讲的是shell中函数的应用

The Code

To turn the functions in this chapter into a library for use in other scripts, extract all the functions and concatenate them into one big file. If we call this file library.sh, a test script that accesses all of the functions might look like this:

#!/bin/sh

# Library test script

. library.sh

initializeANSI

echon "First off, do you have echo in your path? (1=yes, 2=no) "
read answer
while ! validint $answer 1 2 ; do
  echon "${boldon}Try again${boldoff}. Do you have echo "
  echon "in your path? (1=yes, 2=no) "
  read answer
done

if ! checkForCmdInPath "echo" ; then
  echo "Nope, can't find the echo command."
else
  echo "The echo command is in the PATH."
fi

echo ""
echon "Enter a year you think might be a leap year: "
read year

while ! validint $year 1 9999 ; do
  echon "Please enter a year in the ${boldon}correct${boldoff} format: "
  read year
done

if isLeapYear $year ; then
  echo "${greenf}You're right!  $year was a leap year.${reset}"
else
  echo "${redf}Nope, that's not a leap year.${reset}"
fi

exit 0

应用函数,我们就可以复用我们的脚本。

值得注意的是 $ . tinyscript.sh  ,就是在当前shell下执行脚本,不加"."或source

则会在子shell下执行脚本,可能会有不同的情况发生,值得注意。
