Linux Synopsis Raman

This document discusses control structures and file descriptors in Bash. It defines control structures as consisting of tests and commands that execute if the test is successful. There are two types of control structures: conditional and loop. File descriptors are unique numbers that identify open files, with the first three being standard input, output, and error. File descriptors can be directly accessed in Bash.

CONTROL STRUCTURES:
In Linux , we can control the execution of Linux commands in shell
script with the help of Control Structure. A control structure
consists of two major components :
1. Test
2. Command
If the Test is successful , then the commands are
executed .There are two different kinds of Control structure :
1. Conditional control structures
2. Loop control structure

FILE DISCRIPTORS :

A File descriptor is a number that is unique


identifies an open file in a computer’s operating system. It
describes a data source and how that may be accessed. When a
program asks to open a file , the kernel :
1. Grant access
2. Creates an entry in the global file table.
3. Provides the software with the location of that entry.
The descriptor identified by a unique
non-negative integer. In UNIX like operating system, the first
three file descriptors are :
1. STDIN(standard input)
2. STDOUT(standard output)
3. STDERR(standard error)
File Descriptors may be directly accessed by
using BASH.
