Chapter 21. Writing Portable Bourne Shell
This chapter is a whistle-stop tour of the accumulated wisdom of the free software community, with respect to best practices for portable shell scripting, as encoded in the sources for Autoconf and Libtool, as interpreted and filtered by me. It is by no means comprehensive—entire books have been devoted to the subject—although it is, I hope, authoritative.
