Here is the equivalent canonical link: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/exit-status.html http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/exit-status.html (HTML) http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/abs-guide.pdf#page=57 http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/abs-guide.pdf#page=57 (PDF)
- gavinpc 7y agoThanks, I did search a bit and at any rate couldn't find an actual source for the quote itself.
- teddyh 7y agoA simple search gave me the apparent original source for the quote; an article titled Bash — The GNU Shell, first published in the Linux Journal in 1994: https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2800 https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2800 The latest revision of that text seems to be available here: https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/bash/article.pdf https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/bash/article.pdf
