1.4.1.5. Shell expansions

Up one level

-

Shell expansion is performed after each command line has been split into tokens. These are the expansions performed:

  • Brace expansion

  • Tilde expansion

  • Parameter and variable expansion

  • Command substitution

  • Arithmetic expansion

  • Word splitting

  • Filename expansion

We'll discuss these expansion types in detail in Section 3.4.
