Tip Of The Week: bash Variable Substitution. This week LinuxLookup examines
variable substitution in bash. "bash variable substitution
works as a little code shortcut when assigning a value to a variable
in a script. It also makes little sense syntactically, and you
probably wouldn't know what it was doing at first glance. But it's a
standard bash idiom that saves a few keystrokes, so it's a good
thing to learn."
