读书笔记--101个shell脚本 之#12--函数

今天这个脚本其实很简单，但很实用，讲的是shell中函数的应用

The Code

To turn the functions in this chapter into a library for use in other scripts, extract all the functions and concatenate them into one big file. If we call this file library.sh, a test script that accesses all of the functions might look like this:

#!/bin/sh

# Library test script

. library.sh

initializeANSI

echon "First off, do you have echo in your path? (1=yes, 2=no) "
read answer
while ! validint $answer 1 2 ; do
echon "${boldon}Try again${boldoff}. Do you have echo "
echon "in your path? (1=yes, 2=no) "
read answer
done

if ! checkForCmdInPath "echo" ; then
echo "Nope, can't find the echo command."
else
echo "The echo command is in the PATH."
fi

echo ""
echon "Enter a year you think might be a leap year: "
read year

while ! validint $year 1 9999 ; do
echon "Please enter a year in the ${boldon}correct${boldoff} format: "
read year
done

if isLeapYear $year ; then
echo "${greenf}You're right!  $year was a leap year.${reset}"
else
echo "${redf}Nope, that's not a leap year.${reset}"
fi

exit 0

应用函数，我们就可以复用我们的脚本。

值得注意的是 $ . tinyscript.sh ，就是在当前shell下执行脚本，不加"."或source[/b]

则会在子shell下执行脚本，可能会有不同的情况发生，值得注意。[/b]
