This book provides a clear and concise explanation of the Korn shell`s features. It explains ksh string operations, co-processes, signals and signal handling, and one of the worst dark corners of shell programming: command-line interpretation. It does this by introducing simple real-life examples and then adding options and complexity in later chapters, illustrating the way real-world script development generally proceeds. An additional--and unique--programming aid, a Korn shell debugger (kshdb), is also included.
