Overview We will start with understanding the individual components of an entire CLI. Generally we don’t put much attention to what we do. We just fire up a terminal or some say sheel and start typing our commands and get the result. That’s all. But there are a lot of things that goes behind all this. Terminal The very first component is the Terminal. So what is a Terminal? A terminal emulator, terminal application, term, or tty for short, is a program that emulates a video ter- minal within some other display architecture. Though typically synonymous with a shell or text terminal, the term terminal covers all remote terminals, including graphical interfaces. A terminal emulator inside a graphical user interface is often called a terminal window.A terminal window allows the user access to a text terminal and all its applications such as command-line interfaces (CLI) and text user interface (TUI) applications.

  • A Common Framework for Scripting Tutorials Erik Hjelmås and Ivar
    A Common Framework for Scripting Tutorials Erik Hjelmås and Ivar Farup Abstract A scripting tutorial should focus on teaching the characteristics of scripting languages, avoiding the pitfall of teaching only syntax conversion from system programming languages. Examples should be selected to emphasize features of scripting languages in general (e.g. weak typing, associate arrays, “gluing”) and the scripting language at hand. Students might benefit from using the same framework (structure of programming elements and examples) for learning multiple scripting languages. Their existing programming skills should be reused while newly introduced scripting concepts should be reinforced in subsequent examples. 1 Introduction Scripting languages are popular for solving problems in many different domains [8]. Some are general scripting languages such as Perl, Python and Ruby, while others are slightly domain-specific (platform-specific: Bash, PowerShell) or very domain-specific (application-specific: Cfengine, Matlab). They can be characterized as high-level and weakly typed, as opposed to system programming languages such as Java and C++ [11]. In higher education, scripting languages are used both for introductory programming courses [14] and for lab exercises in later courses. It is in this last context the present work seeks to contribute to a better learning experience for students. Although much effort has been invested in researching ways of teaching introductory programming [12], the problem of how to convert existing programming skills to a new language seems slightly overlooked. The way this is solved in practice is by either providing a short tutorial style introduction to the new language, or referring the student to an online tutorial resource.

  • Bash Tutorial
    Bash Shell Lecturer: Prof. Andrzej (AJ) Bieszczad Email: [email protected] Phone: 818-677-4954 Bash Shell The shell of Linux • Linux has a variety of different shells: – Bourne shell (sh), C shell (csh), Korn shell (ksh), TC shell (tcsh), Bour ne Again shell (bash). • Certainly the most popular shell is “bash”. Bash is an sh- compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). • It is intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard. • It offers functional improvements over sh for both programming and interactive use. Bash Shell Programming or Scripting ? • bash is not only an excellent command line shell, but a scripting language in itself. Shell scripting allows us to use the shell's abilities and to automate a lot of tasks that would otherwise require a lot of commands. • Difference between programming and scripting languages: – Programming languages are generally a lot more powerful and a lot faster than scriptin g languages. Programming languages generally start from source code and are compil ed into an executable. This executable is not easily ported into different operating syste ms. – A scripting language also starts from source code, but is not compiled into an executabl e. Rather, an interpreter reads the instructions in the source file and executes each inst ruction. Interpreted programs are generally slower than compiled programs. The main a dvantage is that you can easily port the source file to any operating system. bash is a s cripting language. Other examples of scripting languages are Perl, Lisp, and Tcl.

  • Individual Coursework 5: Implementing a UNIX Shell Introduction
    UCL CS 0019 Brad Karp Individual Coursework 5: Implementing a UNIX Shell Due date: 5:05 PM GMT, 30th March 2020, EXTENDED to 6th April 2020 Value: 6% of marks for module Introduction The design of the UNIX1 system call APIs for creating and controlling processes and plumbing together their inputs and outputs is one of the gems of modern software systems architecture. To help you become fluent in using this powerful set of mechanisms in C, in this assignment you will use fork(), exec(), and several other interesting system calls to build a command shell, or shell for short. A shell reads commands on its standard input and executes them. Modern UNIXes include multiple shells (and developers over the years have created still more shells with different syntaxes and features). In your shell, you will implement simple commands, background commands, conditional commands (i.e., using the && and || operators), I/O redirection, and pipes. You will also imple- ment command interruption (i.e., with Ctrl-C). Your shell will implement a subset of the bash shell’s syntax, as defined at: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html and will be generally compatible with bash for the features they share. You may find a tutorial on how to use the UNIX shell useful preparation for CW5; one such tutorial is available at: http://www.linuxcommand.org/lc3_learning_the_shell.php This coursework must be done in a UNIX programming environment. We recommend that all 0019 students develop in the 0019 Linux virtual machine (VM) provided for use in this class, available at: http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/B.Karp/0019/s2020/cw.html If you happen to have another UNIX machine at your disposal (including a Mac OS machine), you may find that you can develop your solution to CW5 in that environment, but the only development environment the 0019 staff can support is the 0019 VM.

  • Rc the Plan 9 Shell
    Rc ߞ The Plan 9 Shell Tom Duff [email protected]−labs.com ABSTRACT Rc is a command interpreter for Plan 9 that provides similar facilities to UNIXߣs Bourne shell, with some small additions and less idiosyncratic syntax. This paper uses numerous examples to describe rcߣs features, and contrasts rc with the Bourne shell, a model that many readers will be familiar with. 1. Introduction Rc is similar in spirit but different in detail from UNIXߣs Bourne shell. This paper describes rcߣs principal features with many small examples and a few larger ones. It assumes familiarity with the Bourne shell. 2. Simple commands For the simplest uses rc has syntax familiar to Bourne-shell users. All of the fol­ lowing behave as expected: date cat /lib/news/build who >user.names who >>user.names wc <file echo [a−f]*.c who | wc who; date vc *.c & mk && v.out /*/bin/fb/* rm −r junk || echo rm failed! 3. Quotation An argument that contains a space or one of rcߣs other syntax characters must be enclosed in apostrophes (’): rm ’odd file name’ An apostrophe in a quoted argument must be doubled: echo ’How’’s your father?’ 4. Patterns An unquoted argument that contains any of the characters *?[is a pattern to be matched against file names. A * character matches any sequence of characters, ? matches any single character, and [class] matches any character in the class, unless the first character of class is ~, in which case the class is complemented. The class may ­ 2 ­ also contain pairs of characters separated by −, standing for all characters lexically between the two.

  • An Introduction to the C Shell
    -- -- An Introduction to the C shell William Joy (revised for 4.3BSD by Mark Seiden) Computer Science Division Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of California, Berkeley Berkeley, California 94720 ABSTRACT Csh is a newcommand language interpreter for UNIX†systems. It incorporates good features of other shells and a history mechanism similar to the redo of INTERLISP. While incorporating manyfeatures of other shells which makewriting shell programs (shell scripts) easier,most of the features unique to csh are designed more for the interac- tive UNIX user. UNIX users who have read a general introduction to the system will find a valuable basic explanation of the shell here. Simple terminal interaction with csh is possible after reading just the first section of this document. The second section describes the shell’s capabilities which you can explore after you have begun to become acquainted with the shell. Later sections introduce features which are useful, but not necessary for all users of the shell. Additional information includes an appendix listing special characters of the shell and a glossary of terms and commands introduced in this manual. Introduction A shell is a command language interpreter. Csh is the name of one particular command interpreter on UNIX.The primary purpose of csh is to translate command lines typed at a terminal into system actions, such as invocation of other programs. Csh is a user program just likeany you might write. Hopefully, csh will be a very useful program for you in interacting with the UNIX system. In addition to this document, you will want to refer to a copyofthe UNIX User Reference Manual.
