/usr/share/doc
Holds various documentation les and the release notes for your system. In the
manual subdirectory nd an online version of this manual. If more than one lan-
guage is installed, this directory may contain versions of the manuals for dierent
languages.
Under packages nd the documentation included in the software packages installed
on your system. For every package, a subdirectory /usr/share/doc/
packages/
packagename
is created that often holds README les for the package
and sometimes examples, conguration les or additional scripts.
If HOWTOs are installed on your system /usr/share/doc also holds the howto
subdirectory in which to nd additional documentation on many tasks related to
the setup and operation of Linux software.
/var
Whereas /usr holds static, read-only data, /var is for data which is written during
system operation and thus is variable data, such as log les or spooling data. For
an overview of the most important log les you can nd under /var/log/, refer
to Table A.2, “Log Files” (page 242).
/windows
Only available if you have both Microsoft Windows and Linux installed on your
system. Contains the Windows data available on the Windows partition of your
system. Whether you can edit the data in this directory depends on the le system
your Windows partition uses. If it is FAT32, you can open and edit the les in this
directory. For NTFS, openSUSE also includes write access support. However, the
driver for the NTFS-3g le system has limited functionality. Learn more in Sec-
tion “Accessing Files on Dierent OS on the Same Computer” (Chapter 27,
Copying and Sharing Files, ↑Reference).
18.2 Writing Shell Scripts
Shell scripts are a convenient way of doing all sorts of tasks: collecting data,
searching for a word or phrase in a text and many other useful things. The following
example shows a small shell script that prints a text:
Example 18.1: A Shell Script Printing a Text
#!/bin/sh
# Output the following line:
echo "Hello World"
The rst line begins with the Shebang characters (#!) which is an indicator that
this le is a script. The script is executed with the specied interpreter after the
Shebang, in this case /bin/sh.
The second line is a comment beginning with the hash sign. It is recommended
to comment dicult lines to remember what they do.
The third line uses the built-in command echo to print the corresponding text.
