Advanced Techniques in Shell Scripting
Abstract
The title of this chapter is misleading—by design, too. The word “advanced” usually is taken to mean “difficult to understand” and/or “not essential”. This chapter is neither of those—the whole chapter is easy to understand, and the first half is essential to understand as well. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The >> operator appends output to a file instead of overwriting it, which is useful for logs or cumulative reports.
“In contrast, >> appends the output to the file instead of overwriting it, which is useful for logs or cumulative reports (Jain 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
