		Filligree on March 11, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Mighty Named Pipe For this in particular, try the Advanced Bash Scripting doc, http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ There's a bunch of interesting constructs there. Most of them also apply to improved shells such as zsh, though some are just pointless there.

I've seen the ABS guide criticized for being obsolete and recommending wrong or obsolete best practices. A recommended replacement is The Bash Hacker's Wiki: http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/doku.php

Which itself recommends as best (current) alternative: Greg's Bash Guide: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
