Make GRASS shell scripts portable
- Portable shell scripting is something of a black art, since with the evolution and derivation of the UNIX shell, the definition of "portable" is perhaps ambiguous.
- _Simon__Nattrass_
Guidelines
Conditionals
Conditional with [ ... ] should replaced by __test__
if [ -f foo.c ]
then
...
fi
as here:
if test -f foo.c
then
...
fi
Arithmetics
Expression with $(( ... ))
x=$(($x+1))
are more portable if using __expr__
x=`expr $x + 1`
