This collection of scripts was originally written for older versions of bash by Noah Friedman (friedman@gnu.ai.mit.edu). The conversion to bash v2 syntax was done by Chet Ramey. These scripts are as-is; there is no copyright associated with any of them. They exist simply as examples of bash scripting. Here's a description of what's in this directory: aref.bash Pseudo-arrays and substring indexing examples. bash.sub.bash Library functions used by require.bash. bash_version.bash A function to slice up $BASH_VERSION. meta.bash Enable and disable eight-bit readline input. mktmp.bash Make a temporary file with a unique name. number.bash A fun hack to translate numerals into English. PERMISSION Permissions to use the scripts in this directory. prompt.bash A way to set PS1 to some predefined strings. README README remap_keys.bash A front end to 'bind' to redo readline bindings. require.bash Lisp-like require/provide library functions for bash. send_mail.bash Replacement SMTP client written in bash. shcat.bash Bash replacement for 'cat(1)'. source.bash Replacement for source that uses current directory. string.bash The string(3) functions at the shell level. stty.bash Front-end to stty(1) that changes readline bindings too. y_or_n_p.bash Prompt for a yes/no/quit answer.
