Introduction
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
This is GNU Bash, version 5.2. Bash is the GNU Project's Bourne
|
||||
Again SHell, a complete implementation of the POSIX shell spec,
|
||||
but also with interactive command line editing, job control on
|
||||
architectures that support it, csh-like features such as history
|
||||
substitution and brace expansion, and a slew of other features.
|
||||
For more information on the features of Bash that are new to this
|
||||
type of shell, see the file `doc/bashref.texi'. There is also a
|
||||
large Unix-style man page. The man page is the definitive description
|
||||
of the shell's features.
|
||||
|
||||
See the file POSIX for a discussion of how the Bash defaults differ
|
||||
from the POSIX spec and a description of the Bash `posix mode'.
|
||||
|
||||
There are some user-visible incompatibilities between this version
|
||||
of Bash and previous widely-distributed versions, bash-4.4, bash-5.0,
|
||||
and bash-5.1. For details, see the file COMPAT. The NEWS file tersely
|
||||
lists features that are new in this release.
|
||||
|
||||
Bash is free software, distributed under the terms of the [GNU] General
|
||||
Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation,
|
||||
version 3 of the License (or any later version). For more information,
|
||||
see the file COPYING.
|
||||
|
||||
A number of frequently-asked questions are answered in the file
|
||||
`doc/FAQ'. (That file is no longer updated.)
|
||||
|
||||
To compile Bash, type `./configure', then `make'. Bash auto-configures
|
||||
the build process, so no further intervention should be necessary. Bash
|
||||
builds with `gcc' by default if it is available. If you want to use `cc'
|
||||
instead, type
|
||||
|
||||
CC=cc ./configure
|
||||
|
||||
if you are using a Bourne-style shell. If you are not, the following
|
||||
may work:
|
||||
|
||||
env CC=cc ./configure
|
||||
|
||||
Read the file INSTALL in this directory for more information about how
|
||||
to customize and control the build process. The file NOTES contains
|
||||
platform-specific installation and configuration information.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are a csh user and wish to convert your csh aliases to Bash
|
||||
aliases, you may wish to use the script `examples/misc/alias-conv.sh'
|
||||
as a starting point. The script `examples/misc/cshtobash' is a
|
||||
more ambitious script that attempts to do a more complete job.
|
||||
|
||||
Reporting Bugs
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Bug reports for bash should be sent to:
|
||||
|
||||
bug-bash@gnu.org
|
||||
|
||||
using the `bashbug' program that is built and installed at the same
|
||||
time as bash.
|
||||
|
||||
The discussion list `bug-bash@gnu.org' often contains information
|
||||
about new ports of Bash, or discussions of new features or behavior
|
||||
changes that people would like. This mailing list is also available
|
||||
as a usenet newsgroup: gnu.bash.bug.
|
||||
|
||||
When you send a bug report, please use the `bashbug' program that is
|
||||
built at the same time as bash. If bash fails to build, try building
|
||||
bashbug directly with `make bashbug'. If you cannot build `bashbug',
|
||||
please send mail to bug-bash@gnu.org with the following information:
|
||||
|
||||
* the version number and release status of Bash (e.g., 2.05a-release)
|
||||
* the machine and OS that it is running on (you may run
|
||||
`bashversion -l' from the bash build directory for this information)
|
||||
* a list of the compilation flags or the contents of `config.h', if
|
||||
appropriate
|
||||
* a description of the bug
|
||||
* a recipe for recreating the bug reliably
|
||||
* a fix for the bug if you have one!
|
||||
|
||||
The `bashbug' program includes much of this automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
Questions and requests for help with bash and bash programming may be
|
||||
sent to the help-bash@gnu.org mailing list.
|
||||
|
||||
If you would like to contact the Bash maintainers directly, send mail
|
||||
to bash-maintainers@gnu.org.
|
||||
|
||||
While the Bash maintainers do not promise to fix all bugs, we would
|
||||
like this shell to be the best that we can make it.
|
||||
|
||||
Other Packages
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
This distribution includes, in examples/bash-completion, a recent version
|
||||
of the `bash-completion' package, which provides programmable completions
|
||||
for a number of commands. It's available as a package in many distributions,
|
||||
and that is the first place from which to obtain it.
|
||||
|
||||
The latest version of bash-completion is always available from
|
||||
https://github.com/scop/bash-completion.
|
||||
|
||||
If it's not a package from your vendor, you may install the included version.
|
||||
|
||||
Enjoy!
