Review Shell syntax• $# - Number of positional parameters• $! - Background PID• $? - Return value• $$ - Process PID• $ - Provides the content of a variable ($NUMBER)• $0, $1, $2, $3 … - The syntax represents the

positional parameters on the command line.• exit 0 – The return values is a number from 0 to

255. A value of zero (0) indicates a normal exit.• exit 1 - Indicates a failure.

Review shell syntax• “ “ - Double quotes. Removes special meaning of all

enclosed characters, except $, `, “, and \.• Example: print “The price is $Price.\n”; (interpolation)• ‘ ’ - Literal quotes. Removes the special meaning of all

enclosed characters. A single quote cannot appear within single quotes because a single quote denotes the end of the string.

• ` ` - Single Back Slash quotes. Used for command substitution.

• Example: echo The date is `date` (interpolation)• LINES=`wc -l $ENTRY | cut -c 1-7`• LISTING=`ls -l | cut -f 9`

Review shell syntax• if [ -d "$1" ]
