Content One: Set Default Values for Variables on Command Line
1.1 Assign Values to Ordinary Variables
# a=1
# b=
(Add: let a be 1 and B be null as an example)
1.2 Set Default Values for Variables on Command Line
# var1=${a:-no}
# var2=${b:-no}
(
Add:
If a is null, var1 is no, otherwise var1 is equal to a
If B is null, var2 is no, otherwise var2 is equal to B
)
1.3 View Variable Results
# echo $var1
1
# echo $var2
no
(
Add:
The value of a is 1, so var1 is 1
The B is null, so var2 is no
)
Content Two:Set Variable Defaults in Script
2.1 Setting Variable Defaults in Script
# vim var_default.sh
Create the following:
#!/bin/bash
var_default="${1:-no}"
echo $var_default
(Add:If the variable of $1 is null, then var_default is no, otherwise var_default is equal to $1, and print it out as an example)
2.2 Test Variable Defaults in Script
# bash var_default.sh
no
# bash var_default.sh 1
